Appendix A Signal Pinouts A-3
A.3 Serial Ports
The server has two serial ports, labeled SERIAL MGT and TTYA. TABLE A-4 lists the
default serial connection settings for both serial ports.
A.3.1 Serial Management Port
The serial management connector (labeled SER MGT) is an RJ-45 connector that can
be accessed from the rear panel. This port is the default connection to the server. Use
this port only for server management.
Caution – You must use a shielded Ethernet cable to maintain your server’s NEBS
compliance. The cable’s shield must be grounded at both ends.
FIGURE A-3 shows the pin numbering of the serial management port. TABLE A-5
describes the pin signals.
