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): SP local connection for Oracle ILOM boot messages
Power cables for the server power supplies
SP management ports: There are two service processor management ports for use with the Oracle ILOM SP.
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) port 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 Modify Oracle ILOM Network Settings. The SP network management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection.
Ethernet ports: The Ethernet ports, labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3, connect the server to the network. The Ethernet interfaces operate at 100 Mbit/sec, 1000 Mbit/sec, and 10,000 Mbit/sec.
USB Ports: USB ports support hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect USB cables and peripheral devices while the server is running without affecting server operations.
AC power cables: Four power supply connectors are available, one for each power supply.
