Note – You can only access the sc> prompt and view POST messages from either
the serial management port or the network management port.
Note – There are many other OpenBoot configuration variables. Although these
variables do not affect which hardware device is used to access the system console,
some of them affect which diagnostic tests the system runs and which messages the
system displays at its console. For details, refer to the Netra 440 Server Diagnostics
and Troubleshooting Guide (817-3886-xx).
b. To cause the changes to take effect, power off the system. Type:
The system permanently stores the parameter changes and powers off.
Note – You can also power off the system using the front panel Power button.
c. Connect the null modem serial cable to the ttyb port on the Netra 440 server.
If required, use the DB-9 or DB-25 cable adapter supplied with the server.

Refer to the Netra 440 Server Installation Guide for power-on procedures.
Continue with your installation or diagnostic test session as appropriate. When you

commands, see the TIP man page.
For more information about connecting to and using the ALOM system controller,
