Back Panel Connector Locations
The following illustration shows and describes the locations of the back panel connectors. Use this information to set up the server, so that you can access diagnostic tools and manage the server during service.

Callout | Cable Port | Description |
---|---|---|
1 |
Power supply 0 input power Power supply 1 input power |
The server has two power supply connectors AC0 and AC1, one for each power supply. Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you finish 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 signals a fault on any installed power supply that is not connected to an AC power source, as it might indicate a loss of redundancy. |
2 |
Ethernet port (NET 0) |
The Ethernet port enables you to connect the system to the network. The Gigabit Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 1GbE 100/1000BASE-T connection. |
3 |
Network management port (NET MGT) |
The service processor NET MGT port is the optional connection to the Oracle ILOM service processor. The service processor NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 1GbE 100/1000BASE-T connection. |
4 |
USB port |
One USB 3.1 port on Exadata Server X11M back panel. The USB port supports hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect a USB cable or a peripheral device while the server is running without affecting system operations. |
5 |
Serial management port (SER MGT) |
Local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection: The service processor SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and terminal (or emulator) to provide access to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI). Using Oracle ILOM, you can configure it to connect to the system console. Refer to Oracle ILOM Documentation. Note: The serial management port does not support network connections. |
