If it is the H50 from 2000, these are pre-power4 systems, so they will not run AIX 6 or higher (need POWER4 processor or higher for that).
However, to test your null modem connection, connect at 9600 baud, no parity - with the power off, but unit turned on. You should get some response - this is the systems interface. You "lose" this interface when the system powers on.
If you are not getting any response, try different speeds (e.g., 19200) - maybe someone changed the default speed.
If the system is up and running (power on) it may be that it was configured without a serial console connection active - and then it would be "dead" by definition.
There are several approaches - but just to know if the console is responding at all, I would start from power off. Less noisy too :wink:
Hope this helps!

I am trying to find PCI Ethernet cards that are compatible with the IBM RISC 6000 - B50 Power PC. None of the regular NIC's seem to have AIX drivers. Does anyone know of AIX drivers for standard PCI Ethernet NIC's or a non IBM NIC that works with the Model B50 at 10/100 MB ? (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I have a H50 server in a remote location and the cron has the power failure line entered. There is nothing in errpt so I suspect this may have been added some time ago.
How can I determine the status of the power supplies remotely?
