Attach Devices to the Rear of the Server

This procedure explains how to connect devices to the server (remotely and locally), so that you can interact with the service processor (SP) and the server console.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET) connectors as needed for OS support.

   See Rear 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 Rear 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 Rear 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.
