1.Connect a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the server serial port.
2.Ensure that the server hardware is installed and cables are inserted.
Ensure that the power is in standby mode and the green LED blinks. See “Connecting the Cables” on page 31.
3.Verify that your terminal, laptop, PC, or terminal server is operational.

■9600 baud
■Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
■Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
5.Connect a null serial modem cable from the RJ45 serial port on the server back panel to a terminal device (if not connected already).
See FIGURE 1-5 for the position of the serial port on the back panel.
6.Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the Embedded LOM service processor (SP).
Note – If you connect to the serial port on the Embedded LOM before it has been powered on or during its
