From the ASCII terminal, you can access theAdvanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to complete more installation tasks.The ASCII terminal is connected to the server through a serial link. The ASCII interface to the ASMIprovides a subset of the web interface functions. The ASCII terminal for the ASMI interface is availableonly when the system is in the standby state. It is not available during the initial program load (IPL) orrun time.Note: If you are using a serial connection to the ASMI terminal, you must use a conversion cable. Thiscable (part number 46K5108) is used to convert the ASCII terminal 9-pin Dshell connector to an RJ45serial port connector on the system. For information about the locations of the connectors on the system,see Part locations and location codes (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8ecs/p8ecs_locations.htm).To cable an ASCII terminal to the server, complete the following steps:1. Using a serial cable that is equipped with a null modem, connect the ASCII terminal to the serial porton the rear of the server.2. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes.These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is setaccording to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.Table 7.

Press a key on the ASCII terminal to allow the service processor to confirm the presence of the ASCIIterminal.4. When the login display appears for the ASMI, enter admin for the user ID and password.5. Change the default password when you are prompted.6. Press Enter until the server information appears. You have completed the setup for an ASCII terminal,and have started the ASMI.7.
