Entering the console mode

To enter the console mode a connection from a PC to the serial port of the blade server system has to be established first. For this purpose a RS232 cable (null modem cable) is used. An RX/TX signal will then be exchanged via this cable.

After the connection has been established, the HyperTerminal option is called up on the PC.

The parameters for this option are to be set as follows:

Baud rate

Parity bits

Data bits

Stop bits

Flow control

Terminal type

115200

None

VT100

LAN interface connection

The console mode can also be entered via LAN. In this case, the Telnet client is called up, and the login procedure is performed using the management blade IP address.

The settings are then as follows:

Host IP address Service LAN 192.138.1.1 (default for a management blade address, the slave - when active - has the same address as the master)

Host IP address Management LAN 192.168.1.10 (default for a management blade address, the slave - when active - has the same address as the master)

Telnet port

SSHv2 port

Same as the Telnet port configured for the management blade (default port: 3172)
