Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers.
▼ To Power On the System for the First Time
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes
into Standby mode and the ILOM service processor initializes as soon as the AC
power cables are connected to the power source.
The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is
connected to the system, the service processor powers on, runs diagnostics, and
initializes the ILOM firmware.
1. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the service
processor serial management port.
Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■ 9600 baud
■ 8 bits
■ No parity
■ 1 Stop bit
■ No handshake
Note – When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a
terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the service processor
serial management port, you will not see system messages. After connecting to the
server with a terminal or terminal emulator, log into the ILOM CLI or the ALOM
compatability CLI to get to the service processor console.
2. Turn on the terminal or terminal emulator.
3. Connect the AC power cables to Power Supply 0 and Power Supply 1, and
watch the terminal for system messages.
