Cabling Requirements
Read the following cable requirements for connecting the server.
■
Minimum cable connections for the server:
■
At least one server on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
■
Serial management port (SER MGT): Service Processor (SP) local connection for
Oracle ILOM boot messages
■
Power cables for the server power supplies
■
SP management ports:
■
The SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the default
connection to the Oracle ILOM SP.
■
The network management port (NET MGT) is the optional connection to the Oracle
ILOM SP. The NET MGT port is configured to use DHCP by default. To set a static
IP address, see “Modifying Network Settings” on page 88. The SP network
management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000 BASE-T connection.
