Cabling the server with an ASCII terminal

If you are not creating logical partitions, you can use an ASCII terminal to manage a server that is running the AIX, Linux, or VIOS operating systems. From the ASCII terminal, you can access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to perform additional installation tasks.

The ASCII terminal is connected to the server through a serial link. The ASCII interface to the ASMI provides a subset of the web interface functions. The ASCII terminal is available only when the system is in the standby state. It is not available during the initial program load (IPL) or run time.

If you have previously connected the server to an HMC, you must use the HMC to switch the server firmware from being managed by the HMC to being a stand-alone server. This switch enables the native serial ports on the server, and allows you to use the serial ports to connect to the ASCII terminal. Follow these steps to perform this task:

1. Power off the server using the HMC. a. Select Systems Management > Servers. b. Select the server. Ensure that you are selecting the server and not the partition. c. Select Operations > Power Off.

2. Access ASM to reset the server to its factory default settings. a. Select Operations > Launch Advanced System Management. b. Login using the User ID admin.

Note: The default password for the admin User ID is admin.

c. Expand System Service Aids and select Factory Configuration. d. Select Reset all settings and then select Continue.

3. In the HMC navigation area, select Connections > Reset or Remove Connections > Remove

Connection.

4. Click OK.

To cable an ASCII terminal to the server, complete the following steps:

1. Using a serial cable that is equipped with a null modem, connect the ASCII terminal to system connector 1 (P2-C8-T7) on the rear of the server.

2. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes. These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is set

according to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.

Accessing the ASMI by using a web browser

If your system is not managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can connect a PC or notebook to the server to access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). You need to configure the Web browser address on the PC or notebook to match the manufacturing default address on the server.

To set up the Web browser for direct or remote access to the ASMI, complete the following steps:

1. If the server is not powered on, perform the following steps: a. Connect your power cord or cords to the server.

36 Power Systems: Installing the IBM Power 750 (8408-E8D) and IBM PowerLinux 7R4 (8248-L4T)

b. Plug the power cord or cords into the power source. c. Wait for the control panel to display 01. A series of progress codes are shown before 01 appears.

Notes:

v The system is powered on if the light on the control panel is green. v To view the control panel, press the blue switch to the left, then pull out the control panel all

the way, and then pull it down.

Important: Do not connect an Ethernet cable to either the HMC1 port or the HMC2 port until you are directed to do so later in this procedure.

2. Select a PC or notebook that has Netscape 9.0.0.4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, Opera 9.24, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 to connect to your server.

Note: If the PC or notebook on which you are viewing this document does not have two Ethernet connections, another PC or notebook needs to be connected to your server to access the ASMI.

If you do not plan to connect your server to your network, this PC or notebook is your ASMI console. If you plan to connect your server to your network, this PC or notebook temporarily connects directly

to the server for setup purposes only. After setup, you can use any PC or notebook on your network that is running Netscape 9.0.0.4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, Opera 9.24, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 as your ASMI console.

Note: Complete the following steps to disable the TLS 1.0 option in Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the ASMI using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 running on Windows XP:

a. From the Tools menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Internet Options. b. From the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab. c. Clear the Use TLS 1.0 check box (in the Security category) and click OK.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the back of

the managed system. If HMC1 is occupied, connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the Ethernet port labeled HMC2 on the rear of the managed system.

Important: If you attach an Ethernet cable to the service processor before the system reaches power off standby, the IP address shown in Table 5 might not be valid. For details, see “Correcting an IP address” on page 39.

4. Use Table 5 to help you determine and record the information needed to set the IP address of the service processor on the PC or notebook. The Ethernet interface on the PC or notebook needs to be configured within the same subnet mask as the service processor so that they can communicate with each other. For example, if you connected your PC or notebook to HMC1, the IP address for your PC or notebook could be 169.254.2.140 and the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. Set the gateway IP address to the same IP address as the PC or notebook

Note: It might take up to 2 minutes for the ASMI login display to be shown in the Web browser after the Ethernet cable is plugged into the service processor in step 3 on page 37. During this time, if you use control panel function 30 to view the IP addresses on the service processor, incomplete or inaccurate data is shown.

7. When the Login display appears, enter admin for the user ID and password.

8. Change the default password when prompted.

9. Choose from the following options:

v If you do not plan to connect your PC or notebook to your network, this ends this procedure. You

can now perform tasks such as changing the time of day or changing the altitude setting.

v If you plan to connect your PC or notebook to your network, see Accessing the ASMI without an

HMC (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/p7hby/ connect_asmi.htm).

Best practices for integrating cable and system placement

These guidelines ensure that your system and its cables have optimal clearance for maintenance and other operations. The guidelines also provide guidance in correctly cabling your system and using the appropriate cables.

The following guidelines provide cabling information for installing, migrating, relocating, or upgrading your system:

v Position drawers in racks to allow enough space, where possible, for cable routing on the bottom and

top of the rack, and between drawers.

v Shorter drawers should not be placed between longer drawers in the rack (for example, placing a

19-inch drawer between two 24-inch drawers).

v When a specific cable plugging sequence is required, for example, for concurrent maintenance

(symmetric multiprocessing cables), label the cables appropriately and note the sequence order.

v To facilitate cable routing, install cables in the following order:

1. System power control network (SPCN) cables

2. Power cables

3. Communications (serial attached SCSI, InfiniBand, remote input/output, and peripheral component

interconnect express) cables

Note: Install and route the communications cables, starting with the smallest diameter first and then progressing to the largest diameter. This applies to installing them into the cable management arm and retaining them to the rack, brackets, and other features that may be provided for cable management.

v Install and route the communications cables, starting with smallest diameter first and then progressing

to the largest diameter.

v Use the innermost cable-management bridge lances for SPCN cables. v Use the middle cable-management bridge lances for power and communications cables. v The outermost row of cable-management bridge lances are available for use when routing cables. v Use the cable raceways on the sides of the rack to manage excess SPCN and power cables. v There are four cable-management bridge lances on the top of the rack. Use these bridge lances to route

the cables from one side of the rack to the other, by routing to the top of the rack, where possible. This routing helps to avoid having a cable bundle that blocks the cable exit opening at the bottom of the rack.

v Use the cable management brackets provided with the system to maintain concurrent maintenance

routing.

v Maintain a minimum bend diameter of 101.6 mm (4 in.) for communications (SAS, IB, RIO, and PCIe)

cables.

v Maintain a minimum bend diameter of 50.8 mm (2 in.) for power cables. v Maintain a minimum bend diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in.) for SPCN cables.

Reference information 41

v Use the shortest-length cable available for each point-to-point connection. v If cables have to be routed across the rear of a drawer, leave enough slack to reduce the tension on the

cables for maintenance of the drawer.

v When routing cables, leave enough slack around the power connection on the power distribution unit

(PDU) so that the wall-to-PDU line cord can be attached to the PDU.

v Use hook-and-loop fasteners where necessary.
