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 adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null
modem configuration.
Note – When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a
terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the service processor
serial management port, you will not see system messages.

▼ Prepare Power Cords

procedures. For example, if you have not prepared a display before connecting the
AC power cable, initial system messages could be lost.
Caution – The server goes into Standby mode and the service processor initializes
as soon as the AC power cable is connected to the power source.
