3500 Enterpriseconsole

Respected Sun experts:

I need to verify 3500 Enterprise server that wasn't use for a while ,it has A and B serial port and RJ45 connector <TP>.

When I connect to port A and power on the server,message comes:

"Hardware powered on". And no more other messages.Looks like it redirects output for boot messages somwhere else,but there is no

videocard installed and i don't SC port ( I never worked before with this type of server,my experince limited with newer, like V240,V890,SF4800)

Could somebody tell me how i can "intercep" console messages?

Thanks a lot .

Alex

Be patient....In the normal key position, that's all you will see until it finishes post and enters the OBP. Watch the LED's to enure that post is running, they should be moving from board to board.

You could also switch the key to the diag position. This will allow you to see the Post output. However, it will boot the diag device which is usually net.
