Connecting The Console - Fujitsu Primepower200 User Manual

4.3.3 Connecting the console

A device such as a personal computer must be connected to the serial port to act as the console for a
PRIMEPOWER400 Pedestal Server to which a display or keyboard is not connected. Pay attention to the
following when connecting the console to the serial port on the PRIMEPOWER400 Pedestal Server.
Connect the serial cable:

4.3.4 Turning the power on
The following describes how to turn the power on.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
 If the MODE switch is set to AUTO or SECURE on a server unit on which "auto power control by
software" is set, and the AC power is interrupted, the power will sometimes automatically turn on at
the moment that the AC power supply is resumed. To keep the power from being turned on
automatically like this, set the MODE switch to MANUAL when restoring AC power after an
interruption.
 When the PRIMEPOWER Server is turned on, a self-diagnostics routine automatically verifies
whether or not hardware errors are occurring. If this routine detects any hardware errors, system
power is automatically turned off and on again (if the MODE switch on the control panel is set to
AUTO or SECURE). This power off/on retry sequence is performed twice. In both retries, the routine
checks for errors. If an error occurs in both cases, the routine judges that the system cannot be
booted up and stops the system bootup sequence.
Connect to serial A port.
Set to 8 bits, 1 stop bit, parity OFF, and 9600 baud.
Data Destruction
Do not turn the console terminal (device connected to the serial port) on after
turning the PRIMEPOWER Server on. When the MODE switch is set to AUTO
or MANUAL, a break signal may cause the bootup sequence to shift to display of
the ok prompt during Solaris operation, potentially causing data to be lost.
