Rs-232 Serial Management Port - Hitachi 2000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

RS-232 Serial Management Port

The High-performance NAS Platform has one RS-232 connection port, located on the rear
panel of the server. This serial port is intended to be used during system setup. The serial
port is not intended as a permanent management connection, and this port should not be
used as the primary management interface for the server (the primary management
interface to the server should be through the Web Manager GUI or through server's CLI
which can be accessed through the network).
Any VT100 terminal emulation interface can be used to access to the CLI so that you can
perform management or configuration functions. Connect the terminal to the serial port
(port 1) on the rear panel of the High-performance NAS Platform, then set the host
settings to the values below to ensure proper communication between the terminal and
the High-performance NAS Platform.
Once the initial setup has been completed, you should disconnect the serial cable. If you
need to manage the server through a serial connection, connect to the serial port on the
SMU and use SSH to access the server's CLI.
