Connect Ethernet Network Cables
The server has four 10 Gigabit Ethernet network connectors, marked NET 0, NET 1, NET 2, and NET 3. Use these ports to connect the server to the network. The Ethernet interfaces operate at 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10000 Mbps. See, Connect Ethernet Network Cables.
Note - The Oracle ILOM sideband management feature enables you to access the SP using one of these Ethernet ports. Refer to Connecting to the SP (In-band) in SPARC and Netra SPARC S7-2 Series Servers Administration Guide.
Note - To achieve 10GbE network speeds, use Category 6A (or better) cables and network devices that support 10000BASE-T networks.
- Connect a Category 5 (or better) cable from your network switch or hub
to Ethernet Port 0 (NET 0) on the rear of the chassis.
- Connect Category 5 (or better) cables from your network switch or hub to the remaining Ethernet ports (NET 1, NET 2, and NET 3), as needed.
