2. Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software to use the
following settings:
■ 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
■ 9600 baud (default, can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)
■ Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
3. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the chassis to a terminal device.
Refer to the chassis documentation for the location of the serial port.
Note – The serial port requires the following pin assignments. Note that these are
the same as the serial cable connector for the Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager
(ALOM) or Remote System Control (RSC). See
TABLE 2-1 .
4. Press Enter on the terminal device.
This establishes the connection between the terminal device and the CMM ILOM.
Note – If you connect a terminal or emulator to the serial port before it has been
powered up or during its power up sequence, you will see bootup messages.
When the system has booted, the CMM ILOM displays its login prompt:
SUNCMM nnnnnnnnnn login:
The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix
SUNCMM
and the CMM ILOM’s MAC address. The MAC address for each service
processor is unique.
