Testing the Setup

The following is a sample testing procedure to ensure your setup is working.

These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you

start, ensure that the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance refer to “Serial Port Configuration” on page 176.

The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup Checklist” on page 173.
