Connect this cable to the terminal's serial port connector.
2. Attach the opposite end of the serial cable to the serial management port on the
SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.

Refer to the documentation accompanying your terminal for information about how
to configure the terminal.
You can issue system commands and view system messages using the alphanumeric
terminal. Continue with your installation or diagnostic procedure, as needed. When
you are finished, type the alphanumeric terminal's escape sequence.
For more information about connecting to and using the ALOM CMT system
controller, refer to the ALOM CMT guide for your server.
Accessing the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor
After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics monitor and
configure it to access the system console. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to
perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view
power-on self-test (POST) messages.
