Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed (crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration.
Note - When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the service processor serial management port, you will not see system messages.
After the initial configuration of the system using the SP SER MGT port, communication with the SP and host is usually performed through this Ethernet interface.

DC input power models–See Assembling and Installing DC Power Cables for the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 Server.
Note - Only one power connection is required for operation. Use two power connections for redundancy.
The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the service processor powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt appears on the terminal device. The host is not initialized or powered on yet.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX login: root Password: changeme . . . ->
After a brief delay, the SP prompt is displayed (->). At this point, there are many commands you can perform using the Integrated Lights Out Manager interface.
Additional SP information, such as how to change the password and how to set up the SP network parameters is available in the online documentation set.
-> start /SYS Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y -> start /SP/console Are you sure you want to start /SP/CONSOLE (y/n)? y Serial console started. To stop, type #. . . .
After you start the SP console, the server initialization takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
You will be prompted to confirm the configuration several times, enabling confirmation and changes. If you are not sure how to respond to a particular value, you can accept the default, and make future changes when the Solaris OS is running.

There are many commands you can use to verify the functionality of the system. The following list describes a few of them:
showrev – Displays the hostname and system architecture information. Use the -a option with this command to see the patches that are installed.
psrinfo – Displays information about the number and status of the processors and cores in the host.
prtdiag – Displays system configuration and diagnostic information.
Review the Solaris OS man pages and documentation for more details.
