• Disable the RAC serial Console if you have a DRAC 5 installed. Login to the DRAC GUI, navigate to Serial from Remote Access, and disable Enable Serial console. • Set Serial Port 1 for PowerEdge x8xx systems. This option is available in the BIOS Setup, in the Integrated Devices menu. Using Terminal Mode Use the Terminal Mode feature to perform the following tasks: • Power the server on or off. • Reset the server. • Retrieve the server's health status. • Configure and retrieve the server management subsystems boot options. • Configure and retrieve the BMC's terminal mode configuration. • Execute any platform supported binary command specified in the IPMI specification using the hex-ASCII format. NOTE: Many of the Terminal Mode features described in this section require an extensive knowledge of IPMI. It is strongly recommended that Terminal Mode users have an advanced understanding of IPMI before using the commands documented in this section. Security Information Access to the BMC using terminal mode is governed by the proper setup of user names and password. See "Configuring Your Managed System" for more information. A session must be established with the BMC prior to accepting any terminal mode commands. A limited selection of text commands and binary hex-ASCII commands that are assigned the lowest IPMI privilege level are available prior to session establishment with the BMC. Since the terminal mode password is sent using clear text, it is highly desirable that the terminal mode session takes place in a secure location over a secure link by using a direct connection. 112 Terminal Mode Commands

Security Information
Access to the BMC using terminal mode is governed by the proper setup of
user names and password. See "Configuring Your Managed System" for more
information. A session must be established with the BMC prior to accepting
any terminal mode commands. A limited selection of text commands and
binary hex-ASCII commands that are assigned the lowest IPMI privilege level
are available prior to session establishment with the BMC.
Since the terminal mode password is sent using clear text, it is highly
desirable that the terminal mode session takes place in a secure location over
a secure link by using a direct connection.
