Oracle^® Servers X7-2 and X7-2L Installation Guide

Prepare to Power On the Server

1. Choose the preferred way to set up your server network environment.

   The instructions in this guide work for any networking environment and require a terminal device for connecting ther server to the Oracle ILOM SP and to power on the server. You can establish a physical management connection to Oracle ILOM SP locally using the serial management port (SER MGT) or remotely using the Ethernet network management port (NET MGT). To establish a remote connection, see Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection.

2. Obtain a terminal device to communicate with the SP, which can be a terminal, a terminal server, or a laptop running terminal emulation software.
3. Set up the terminal device to use 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

   For DTE-to-DTE communication, use an RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to set up a null modem configuration so that transmit and receive signals are crossed over.
