d. Power on the system.

Refer to the Netra 440 Server Installation Guide for power-on procedures.

Continue with your installation or diagnostic test session as appropriate. When you are finished, end your session by typing the terminal server’s escape sequence and exit the window.

For more information about connecting to and using the ALOM system controller, refer to the Advanced Lights Out Manager User’s Guide.

If you have redirected the system console to ttyb and want to change the system console settings back to use the serial management and network management ports, see “System Console OpenBoot Configuration Variable Settings” on page 31.

Accessing the System Console Through a TIP Connection

This procedure assumes that you are accessing the Netra 440 server system console by connecting the serial port of another Sun system to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT) of the Netra 440 server (FIGURE 1-6).
