Attach Devices to the Server

This section provides information about connecting devices to server (remotely and locally), so you can interact with the service processor (SP) and the server console.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET) connectors. See Back Panel Connector Locations.
2. To connect to the service processor's Oracle ILOM over the network, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT. See Back Panel Connector Locations.
3. To access the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) locally using the management port, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port labeled SER MGT. See Back Panel Connector Locations.
4. To interact with the system console locally, connect a mouse and keyboard to the server front panel USB connectors and a monitor to the server front panel DB-15 video connector (as shown in the illustration below).
