Note – The shell window is now a tip window directed to the serial port of the
Sun Workstation or server being tested. When power is applied to the system
being tested, POST messages will be displayed in this window.
5. When POST is completed, disconnect the tip window as follows:
a. Open a shell tool.
b. Enter ps -a to view the active tip line and process ID (PID) number.
c. Enter kill -9 XXXX (where XXXX is the PID number) of the tip hardwire
process.
hostname% kill -9 PID# of tip hardwire process
To verify the baud rate between the system being tested and a terminal or
another Sun Workstation monitor:
1. Open a shell tool.
2. Enter eeprom.
3. Verify the following serial port default settings as follows:
ttyb-mode = 9600,8,n,1
ttya-mode = 9600,8,n,1
Note – Ensure that the above settings are consistent with TTY-type terminal or
workstation monitor settings.
