Cable the Local Console

You can connect the Administration console to the local SER MGT (COM1) serial console port.

• To cable a serial console connection:
  • Serial console cable with an RJ-45 connector

Note:

Do not configure COM2 in the bootparams menu.

When configuring boot loader parameters, set the console to COM1 when you use SER MGT. The boot loader is accessible on all console ports, but only input from the active console port can be recognized by the Oracle X7-2.

1. Locate the appropriate cables to connect to the Oracle X7-2.
2. To cable a serial connection, insert the serial console cable into the SER MGT (COM1) port.

   Note:

   Refer to the Oracle X7-2 hardware documentation for information on how to configure the terminal application to connect to the console, and how to establish communications with the Oracle X7-2.
3. For installation procedures, insert the USB stick in the USB port.
4. Lead the cables neatly away from the rear panel.
5. Plug in the cables to their respective destination components.
