Note – In the rest of this manual, the term rack means either an open rack or a closed cabinet.

5.Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to display system messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 41.

Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you connect the power cables. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers.

6.Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the AC power cable yet. See “Connecting the Server Cables for Both Servers” on page 32.

7.Connect the AC power cable to the server and examine the display for any error messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 41.

Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment are not properly grounded.

Note – The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.

8.After the service processor boots, access the ILOM command-line interface (CLI) through the serial management port. See “To Log Into the Service Processor Using the Serial Management Port” on page 47.

9.Configure the service processor network addresses. See “To Configure the Service Processor Network Management Port” on page 48.

Note – The service processor network management port is not operational until you configure network settings for the service processor (through the service processor serial management port).

10.Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters. See Step 7 in “To Power On the System for the First Time” on page 43.
