1.Connect a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the server serial port.
2.Ensure that the server hardware is installed and cables are inserted.
3.Verify that your terminal, laptop, PC, or terminal server is operational.
4.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)
5.Connect a null serial modem cable from the server’s back panel RJ45 serial port to a terminal device (If not connected already).
See FIGURE 1-5 for the serial port position.
6.Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the Embedded LOM SP. The prompt appears.
7.Type the following command to change a static address to a DHCP address: set /SP/network IPSource=dhcp
8.Type show /SP/network to view the newly assigned DHCP address.
▼Method 2: Using the Service Processor (SP) Embedded LOM Web Browser Interface
Note – The SP Web Browser Interface can be accessed only if you know the service processor IP address. See “Determining the Embedded LOM Service Processor IP Address” on page 34.
To change a static IP address, using the service processor (SP) Embedded LOM Web Browser Interface:
1.Open a Sun Microsystems supported Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, or Firefox.
2.Type the IP address of the SP in the browser address bar.
