To Access the System Console With a Tip
Connection Throught the Serial Management
Port
1. Connect the RJ-45 serial cable and, if required, the DB-9 or DB-25 adapter
provided.
The cable and adapter connect between another Sun system's serial port
(typically TTYB) and the serial management port on the back panel of the Sun
Fire V445 server. Pinouts, part numbers, and other details about the serial cable
and adapter are provided in the Sun Fire V445 Server Parts Installation and Removal
Guide.
2. Ensure that the /etc/remote file on the Sun system contains an entry for
hardwire.
Most releases of Solaris OS software shipped since 1992 contain an /etc/remote
file with the appropriate hardwire entry. However, if the Sun system is running
an older version of Solaris OS software, or if the /etc/remote file has been
modified, you might need to edit it. See
