I installed the new SPARC M3000 server on the rack and powered it on. The M3000 can only be configured via the serial cable connected to the serial port for XSCF. Any windows computer with hyperterminal should be able to connect to it\u2019s console. Once the XSCF interface has been configured with an IP address and telnet has been enabled, you can then connect to it remotely across the network with telnet.<\/p>\n

XSCF (eXtended System Control Facility is used to control, monitor, operate, and service SPARC Enterprise series servers and domains. You can power on\/off the server (domain) via the XSCF interface. As long as the server is plugged into a power source the XSCF console will always be online even though the domain (server) is off. For those who are familiar with Windows servers, the XSCF is similar to the DRAC interface for Dell servers or HP Insight Manager.<\/p>\n

When you are connected to the XSCF console, you will be prompted for a login ID. The default ID is \u201cdefault\u201d and there is no password. With this ID you will need to create a new administrative ID. You also need to be standing close to the server for this process as you will be prompted to change the panel mode switch. If you do not create a new logon ID whenever you connect to the console or when the console session times out, you will be prompted to change the panel mode switch.<\/p>\n

login: default
\nChange the panel mode switch to Locked and press return\u2026
\nLeave it in that position for at least 5 seconds. Change the panel mode switch
\nto Service, and press return\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
