The method for connecting to ILOM using a serial connection is given in this document. For the remaining
methods, refer to the Sun Fire X2270 Server Installation Guide.
Note – If your server does not contain an SP module or an optional video card, connect the terminal to the server
serial port. Video is routed to the serial port in systems that do not contain an SP or a video card. If your system
does not contain an SP module, skip the steps that require you to log in to and start ILOM.
▼ Connect to ILOM Using a Serial Connection
1. Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.
2. If not already configured, configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on
your laptop or PC. For information and procedures, see “Connect the Cables” .
3. If not already connected, connect a serial cable from the RJ-45 SER MGT port on the server’s back panel
to the terminal device. For information and procedures, see “Connect the Cables” .
4. Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the
ILOM SP.
The SP eventually displays a login prompt, such as the following example:
