2 Connect the DB9 null-modem or cross over cable to the RS-232 serial port of the Dell Remote Access Controller / Modular Chassis (DRAC/MC) in the Dell Modular Server Chassis to the RS-232 serial port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation application. NOTE: The default data rate of the DRAC/MC is 115200. a Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. b Set Flow Control to none. c Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode. d Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not Windows keys). NOTICE: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft® Windows 2000, ensure that Windows® 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs. On the console monitor, the DRAC/MC application displays a login screen. 3 Log in onto the DRAC/MC using the default username "root" and password "calvin". The DRAC/MC CLI command prompt "DRAC/MC:" is displayed. For more information, see Dell Modular Server System User's Guide. 4 If Dell Modular Server Chassis is off then power it on using the following DRAC/MC CLI command: racadm chassisaction -m chassis powerup NOTE: The Ethernet Switch Module inserted into the Chassis I/O bay is powered on automatically when the Dell Modular Server Chassis is powered on. For further details on configuring the Dell Modular Server Chassis via the DRAC/MC CLI interface, please see the Dell Remote Access Controller / Modular Chassis User's Guide. 5 Power cycle the Ethernet Switch Module using the following DRAC/MC CLI command: racadm chassisaction -m switch-N powercycle where N is the Chassis I/O Module bay number in which the Ethernet Switch Module is inserted. 6 Redirect the DRAC/MC serial console to the Ethernet Switch Module internal serial console interface. This action is performed by entering the CLI command at the command prompt of the DRAC/MC CLI. connect switch-N where N is the Chassis I/O Module bay number in which the Ethernet Switch Module is inserted.
