Cable the Server
Connect external cables to the server in the following order:
-
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET) ports, as needed
[5-6]).
-
(Optional) If you plan to interact with the system console directly, connect
any external devices, such as mouse and keyboard, to the server's USB ports [2],
and a monitor to the DB-15 video port [1]).
-
To connect to Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) over the network,
connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT [3]).
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 two 10/100/1000
Ethernet ports instead.
-
To access the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) using the serial
management port, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port
labeled SER MGT [4]).
For more information about viewing system output from a serial console see
Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Local Serial Connection.
-
Connect the server power cords to the AC connectors on the back panel of the
server and secure each cord using the connector's cable clip [7].
The AC must be grounded 200-240V.
To provide redundancy in case of power failure, and to prevent the system from
overloading a circuit breaker, connect the top two power cords to a different
circuit from the bottom two.
When power is connected, the SP boots into standby power mode.
-
While the SP is booting, the SP OK/Service Action Required indicator
[3] flashes and the main System OK indicator [1] remains off.
-
When the SP has finished booting, the SP OK/Service Action Required
indicator [3] remains on and the main System OK indicator flashes
quickly once every three seconds.
The host is not initialized or powered on yet.
