If I have understood, the steps are as below:

1- The server need just to be connected to a power source.

2- I connect via the Network Management Port: the console I have in this step is ILOM ?

3- start /SYS to power on the components of the server.

4- start /SP/console to start the serial console. Is this console what do we call OK PROMPT ?

5 OK boot

thanks

you can connect to the NET MGT only if you have configured it!

here a simple step-by-step:

1-Connect Laptop/PC to the Serial Port
- You need a Serial to RJ45 Ethernet apdapteror if your laptop/pc doesn't have a serial output than you need a USB-To-Serial converter and attacha Serial-To-RJ45 adapter
To connect to the serial port use a software like putty.
The connections settings should be:
Speed 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
Flow control None

2- Connect power source and wait until you receive the login screen on putty

3- Login with username: root and password: changeme

4- type start /SYS to start the server

5- type start /SP/console to connect to the console

6- Wait until the POST process has finished

7- type in the OK prompt the boot command: boot

that's it

       if the AnswerBook2 server has been defined, a link to AnswerBook2 collections.

       To define a default AnswerBook2 server, use the environment variable, AB2_DEFAULTSERVER.

       This functionality is also accessible through the AnswerBook2 option  on the CDE front panel Help menu.

       If you need an AnswerBook2 server, you can download the AnswerBook2 server software from http://www.sun.com.
