The system controller (SC) provides the Lights-Out Management (LOM) functions,
which include power-on sequencing, executing module power-on self-tests (POST),
environmental monitoring, fault indication, and alarms.
The LOM command-line interface, the Solaris console, and the OpenBoot™ PROM
console are accessed by connecting an administrative console to either serial port A
or the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port. The administrative console can be any
external input device (laptop computer or workstation) connected to either of these
ports.
