Connecting a Serial Cable
The rear panel of the server provides a standard RJ45 serial port (three-pin serial port), which works as the system serial port by default. You can set it as the iBMC serial port using the iBMC CLI.
The serial port can be used as:
- System serial port to monitor the OS status
- iBMC serial port for debugging and fault locating
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see ESD Protection.
- Plug the connector into the serial port. See Figure 5-22.
