1. Prepare an administrative client (terminal or terminal emulator) with the serial connection parameters:

   • 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

   • 9600 baud

   • Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

   • Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

2. Connect the administrative client to the SER MGT port on the controller using a serial null modem cable.
3. To establish a connection between your serial console and Oracle ILOM, press Enter on the administrative client.
