Oracle^® Server X7-8 Installation Guide

Prepare to Install the Server

Use this procedure to establish a physical management connection to the Oracle ILOM SP using a terminal device to connect to the serial management port (SER MGT).

Alternatively you can connect to the Oracle ILOM SP remotely using the network management port (NET MGT). For instructions, see Access Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection.

1. Obtain a terminal device to communicate with the SP, which can be a terminal, a terminal server, or a laptop running terminal emulation software.
2. Set up the terminal device to communicate using 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
3. For DTE-to-DTE communication, obtain 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.
4. Locate the connectors for System A (SMOD0) and System B (SMOD1)
