9.1 Using a Terminal

If the system does not have a console, you can log in remotely through the network or attach a terminal directly to the system.

To attach a terminal to the system:

1.Halt the system and turn off power.

2.Connect the terminal to serial port A on the clock board.

The clock board is located at the back of system, above the card cage. Figure 9-1 shows the rear of an Enterprise 6000/5000 cabinet server. The same clock board is used in the 8-slot Enterprise 4000 standalone server.

3.Power on the terminal.

4.Set up the terminal.

Refer to the OpenBoot Command Reference for instructions for using the set- defaults and printenv commands.

The settings will vary with the terminal type, but these settings are often used:

9600 bps

8 data bits

1 stop bit

Even parity

Full duplex
