Cable the Server
The following figure shows the locations of the server back panel connectors and ports.

- To make a direct KVM console connection, connect a mouse and keyboard to the server's USB ports [2], and a monitor to the DB-15 video port [3].
-
To make a management connection to the service processor:
-
Ethernet: If you plan to access the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) web or
command-line interface over a network connection (separate management network recommended), connect
an Ethernet cable to the network management port on the server labeled NET MGT [5].
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 server's four 10 GbE Ethernet ports instead. The SP uses only the configured Ethernet port. - Direct serial: If you plan to access the Oracle ILOM command-line interface using the serial management port, connect a serial null modem cable from your terminal, or client running terminal emulation software, to the RJ-45 serial port on the server labeled SER MGT [4].
-
Ethernet: If you plan to access the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) web or
command-line interface over a network connection (separate management network recommended), connect
an Ethernet cable to the network management port on the server labeled NET MGT [5].
- To connect the server to the network, connect Ethernet cables, as needed, to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports [1].
