Sun Microsystems X2100 M2 manual To Configure the Embedded LOM SP Using a Serial Connection

Performing Initial Configuration of the Embedded LOM Service Processor

This section describes two methods for connecting to your Embedded LOM SP to

perform initial setup and configuration. Use the procedure that you prefer.

Note – If you do not have a DHCP server available, you will need to configure the Embedded LOM using a serial connection.

▼To Configure the Embedded LOM SP Using a Serial Connection

You can configure the Embedded LOM SP at any time by connecting a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software to the server serial port. Use this procedure to establish a serial connection to the Embedded LOM SP and to perform initial configuration of Embedded LOM firmware.

Note – This procedure assumes that you have already completed the hardware setup and power-on for your server, as described in Chapter 1 of this guide.

1.Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.

2.Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a laptop or PC to the following settings:

■8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

■9600 baud

■Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

■Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

3.Connect a null serial modem cable from the DB9 serial port on the server’s back panel to a terminal device.

See FIGURE 1-2for the position of the serial port on the back panel.

4.Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the Embedded LOM SP.
