Rear Cable Connections and Ports
FIGURE 1
Rear Panel Cabling Reference
No. Cable Port or Expansion Slot Description
1 Power supply 0 input power
Power supply 1 input power
The server has two power supply connectors, one for each power supply.
Do not attach power cables to any installed power supplies until you have
finished connecting the data cables to the server. The server goes into
standby power mode and the Oracle ILOM service processor initializes when
the AC power cables are connected to the power source. System messages
might be lost after 60 seconds if the server is not connected to a terminal, PC,
or workstation.
Note - Oracle ILOM will signal a fault on any installed power supply that
is not connected to an AC power source, since it might indicate a loss of
redundancy.
2 Network management port (NET MGT) The service processor NET MGT port is the optional connection to the
Oracle ILOM service processor. The NET MGT port is configured by default
to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The service processor
NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000BASE-T connection.
3 Serial management port (SER MGT) The service processor SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is the default
connection to the Oracle ILOM service processor. This port supports local
connections to the server and only recognizes Oracle ILOM command-line
interface (CLI) commands. Typically you connect a terminal or a terminal
emulator to this port.
Note - This port does not support network connections.
4 Ethernet ports (NET 3, NET 2, NET 1, NET 0) The four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports enable you to connect the system to the
network. See “Ethernet Ports” on page 77 for more information.
