Step 1: Unpack The Server; Step 2: Place The Server; Step 3: Connect A Serial Cable; Step 4: Connect An Ethernet Cable (Optional) - Sun Oracle SPARC Enterprise T5140 Getting Started Manual

1. Unpack the server, and check that you received all of the shipping contents.
2. Place the server in its intended location for verification.
For rackmounting instructions, refer to the instructions included with the rail kit, the service label on the server, and
to the online Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Installation Guide.
3. Connect a serial cable between the server's SER MGT port (
This connection provides your initial communication with the service processor (SP).
The terminal device can be a terminal, a terminal server, or a laptop with terminal emulation software running. 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 adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration.

correspond to setup steps.
4. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server's Net MGT port (
future connections to the SP and host will be made.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SP SER MGT port, communication with the SP and host is
usually performed through this Ethernet interface.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports (
will communicate.
6. Plug the power cords into the power supplies and into a power source.
Note - Only one power connection is required for operation. Use two power connections for redundancy.
When power is applied, the SP initializes and power supply LEDs illuminate. After a few minutes, the SP login
prompt appears on the terminal device. The host is not initialized or powered on yet.
