21 Identifying the Server Ports
This section describes the pinouts of the server connectors:
Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The server has five auto-negotiating gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. Three Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors, and two use enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) or quad (4-channel) small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) port connectors. The transfer rates are shown in the following table.
Table 21-1 Ethernet Port Transfer Rates

Network Management Port
The server has one 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management domain interface, labeled NET MGT. For information on configuring this port for managing the server with Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 5.0 Documentation.
Serial Management Port
The serial management connector, labeled SER MGT, is an RJ-45 connector that can be accessed from the back panel. This port is the default connection to the server Oracle ILOM SP. Use only the SER MGT port for server management.

If you need to connect to the SER MGT port using a cable with either a DB-9 or a DB-25 connector, use the pin descriptions in the following tables to create a crossover adapter appropriate for your serial connection.
