Rear Cable Connections
and Ports
The following figure shows the locations of cable connectors
and ports on the back of the Oracle Server X5-2L and the cables and devices
that you would typically connect to them.

1 |
Power supply 0 input power
Power supply 1 input power |
The server has two power supply connectors,
one for each power supply.
Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you have finished connecting the data
cables to the server. The server goes into standby power mode, and the
Oracle ILOM service processor initializes when the AC power cables are
connected to the power source. System messages might be lost after 60
seconds if the server is not connected to a terminal, PC, or
workstation.
Note - Oracle ILOM will signal a fault on any installed power supply
that is not connected to an AC power source, since it might indicate
a loss of redundancy. |

Network management port (NET MGT) |
The service processor NET MGT port is the optional connection to the Oracle ILOM service
processor. The NET MGT port is configured by default to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). The service processor NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000BASE-T
connection. |
3 |
Serial management port (SER MGT) |
The service processor SER MGT port uses
an RJ-45 cable and is the default connection to the Oracle ILOM
service processor. This port supports local connections to the server
and only recognizes Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) commands.
Typically you connect a terminal or terminal emulator to this port.
Note - This port does not support network connections. |
4 |
Ethernet ports (NET 3, NET 2, NET 1, NET 0) |
The four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports enable
you to connect the system to the network. See
Ethernet Ports for more information.
Note - Ethernet ports NET2 and NET3 are nonfunctional in single-processor
systems. |
5, 6 |
USB ports (USB 0, USB 1) |
The two USB ports support hot-plugging.
You can connect and disconnect USB cables and peripheral devices
while the server is running without affecting system operations. |
7 |
Video port (VGA) |
Use a 15-pin video cable to connect a VGA video device to the server. Optionally, you can
connect to the VGA port when installing the operating system. |
