Power On the Host Through the Front Panel (CLI)

Language:

You can access the server module SP directly by connecting a dongle cable to the UCP on the front of the server module.

Caution - Dongle cables are intended for setup, testing, or service purposes and should be removed when not in use. These cables have not been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility compliance and are not to be used during normal operation. See Dongle Cables.

Configure the terminal device or terminal emulation software with these settings:
- 8N1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit)
- 9600 baud (the default, but can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)
- Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

Connect the dongle cable to the UCP connector on the front panel of the server module.
If possible, use a three-connector UCP-3 dongle cable rather than a four-connector UCP-4. See Dongle Cables for details.

Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the dongle cable.
- For a UCP-3 dongle cable, use the RJ-45 connector.
- For a UCP-4 dongle cable, use the DB-9 serial connector (TTYA). If you need to make an RJ-45 connection to a UCP-4, do so through a DB-9-to-RJ-45 adapter attached to the DB-9 connector.
The Oracle ILOM login prompt is displayed on the terminal or terminal emulator.

Type the user name and password when prompted.
The default user is root. The default password is changeme.

You are now logged into Oracle ILOM on the server module SP.

If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS, do not perform the remaining steps.
Instead, go to Reach a State to Install a Fresh OS (Oracle ILOM CLI).

Power on the host.

-> start /System
Are you sure you want to start /System (y/n)? y
Starting /System. . .

The server module initializes.

Switch communication to the server module host.
When the Oracle ILOM prompt appears, type.
```
-> start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started. To stop, type #.
```
The server module might take several minutes to complete POST. If a boot device installed with Oracle Solaris OS is accessible locally, the server module boots. Otherwise, the server module uses the boot net command to seek a boot device on the network.

You are now connected to the server module host.

Note - You can perform other Oracle ILOM commands while the server initialization continues in the background. To return to Oracle ILOM, type #. (Hash Dot). To see information about available Oracle ILOM commands, type help. To return to the initialization, type: start /HOST/console.

The server module hardware installation is now complete.
You can now configure the server module to meet your needs. See Configure the Preinstalled OS.
