The universal connector port (UCP) and the multi-port dongle cable provide a front panel local access point to the server module boot screen, the BIOS Setup Utility, the Oracle ILOM CLI, and Oracle System Assistant. From this access point you can perform server maintenance and setup tasks, including installing an OS.

The following illustration shows the interfaces available through the UCP using the three-connector multi-port cable.

Note - Multi-port cables are available in two varieties, a newer three cable version and a four cable version. The four-port cable has a DB-9 serial connector, while the three-port cable does not.

Note - Your chassis might ship with a DB-9-to-RJ-45 serial cable adapter. The adapter allows you to attach a serial cable with a DB-9 connector to the server module using the RJ-45 port on the multi-port cable.
