Connect The Cables; Ilom Connection Options - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4150 Getting Started Manual

▼ Connect the Cables

1. Connect a serial cable between the server's SER MGT port (
This connection provides your initial communication with the service processor (SP). The device must be set
up to communicate using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. A null modem configuration is needed,
meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed (crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You
can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem
configuration. (

2. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server's NET MGT port and the network to which
future connections to the SP will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP is usually
performed through this Ethernet interface.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports (NET 0, 1, 2, or 3) and the network to
which the server will communicate.
4. Connect the power cords to the AC power connectors and, to enhance redundancy, connect the cords to
separate power sources.
When power is applied, the SP initializes and the Power/OK LED (
the SP Login prompt appears on the terminal device. Note that the server is not initialized or powered on
yet. You can now set up the ILOM.

ILOM Connection Options

This section describes the tasks for initial setup of SP and Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) software. Refer
to the installation guide for your server and the ILOM 3.0 documentation for instructions on using ILOM to
configure and manage the server.
There are three methods for connecting to the ILOM SP to perform initial setup and configuration:
Connect to ILOM using a serial connection
■
Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (DHCP)
■
Connect to ILOM using an Ethernet connection (static IP address)
