Attach Devices to the Server

This procedure explains how to connect devices to the server, so that you can locally and remotely interact with the service processor (SP) and the server console. See Back Panel Connector Locations.

  1. Attach local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection.

    To access the Oracle ILOM service processor command-line interface (CLI) locally, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port labeled SER MGT.

    To access the system console, connect the RJ-45 cable to a terminal or terminal emulator, log on to Oracle ILOM, and type start /HOST/console.

    Note: The serial management port does not support network connections.

  2. Attach Ethernet access to the SP through a dedicated management port (NET MGT).

    To connect to the Oracle ILOM service processor over the network remotely, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT.

  3. Attach Ethernet access optionally through the host NET0 Ethernet port (sideband management).

    Connect an Ethernet cable to the 1GbE Gigabit Ethernet port connector labeled NET 0 as needed for remote OS support. Refer to Oracle ILOM Documentation.
