SPARC T5-2 Server Service Manual

Attachment of Devices During Service

During service procedures, you might have to connect devices to the server.

• For OS support, connect an Ethernet cable to the one of the Ethernet connectors (NET 0, NET 1, NET 2, and NET 3).

• If you plan to interact with the system console directly, you can connect additional external devices, such as a mouse and keyboard, to the server's USB connectors, and connect a monitor to a HD-15 video connector. The rear HD-15 video connector is active by default. For more details on selecting an active video port, refer to Server Installation.

• If you plan to connect to the Oracle ILOM software over the network, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT.

  ---

  Note - The service processor (SP) uses the NET MGT (out-of-band) port by default. You can configure the SP to share one of the sever's four Ethernet ports instead. The SP uses only the configured Ethernet port.

• If you plan to access the Oracle ILOM CLI through the management port, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port labeled SER MGT.

• The USB connectors on the front panel support USB 2.0. The USB connectors on the rear panel support USB 3.0.
