■
SP management ports: There are two SP management ports for use with the ILOM SP.
■
The SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the default
connection to the ILOM SP.
■
The NET MGT port is the optional connection to the ILOM SP. The NET MGT port is
configured to use DHCP by default. To set a static IP address, see “Assigning a Static
IP Address to the SP” on page 78. The SP network management port uses an
RJ‐
45
cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection.
■
Ethernet ports are labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. The Ethernet interfaces
operate at 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10000 Mbps.
Connection Type IEEE Terminology Transfer Rate
Fast Ethernet 100BASE-T 100 Mbits/sec
Gigabit Ethernet 1GBASE-T 1000 Mbits/sec
10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBASE-T 10000 Mbits/sec
Note - To achieve 1-GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network devices
that support 1000BASE-T networks.
■
USB Ports: USB ports support hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect USB cables
and peripheral devices while the server is running without affecting server operations.
■
You can perform USB hot-plug operations only while the OS is running. USB hot-plug
operations are not supported when the server ok prompt is displayed or before the server
has completed booting.
■
You can connect up to 126 devices to each of the four USB controllers, for a total of 504
USB devices per server.
■
AC power cables: Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you have
finished connecting the data cables and have connected the server to a serial terminal or a
terminal emulator (PC or workstation). The server goes into Standby mode and the Oracle
ILOM SP initializes as soon as the AC power cables are connected to the power source.
System messages will not be displayed if the server is not connected to a terminal, PC, or
workstation.
