9.1 Using a Terminal

If the system does not have a console, you can log in remotely through the
network or attach a terminal directly to the system.

To attach a terminal to the system:

1. Halt the system and turn off power.

2. Connect the terminal to serial port A on the clock board.

The clock board is located at the back of system, above the card cage.
Figure 9-1 shows the rear of an Enterprise 6000/5000 cabinet server. The
same clock board is used in the 8-slot Enterprise 4000 standalone server.

3. Power on the terminal.

4. Set up the terminal.

Refer to the OpenBoot Command Reference for instructions for using the

set-

defaults

and

printenv

commands.

The settings will vary with the terminal type, but these settings are often
used:

9600 bps

8 data bits

1 stop bit

Even parity

Full duplex
