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

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 any installed 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 a
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 NET 2 and NET 3 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, DB-15)
|
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.
