Another System
▼ To Access the System Console Through the Tip Connection
1. Connect the RJ-45 serial cable and, if required, the DB9 or DB25 adapter
provided.
The cable and adapter connect between another system’s serial port (typically
ttyb) and the serial management port on the back panel of the SPARC
Enterprise T5140 or T5240 server.
2. Ensure that the /etc/remote file on the other system contains an entry for
hardwire.
Most releases of Solaris OS software shipped since 1992 contain an /etc/remote
file with the appropriate hardwire entry. However, if the system is running an
older version of Solaris OS software, or if the /etc/remote file has been
modified, you might need to edit it. See “Modifying the /etc/remote File” on
page 16 for details.
