The following figure shows the locations of cable connectors and ports on the back of the SPARC S7-2 and the cables and devices that you would typically connect to them.

Description
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. Important system messages may be lost if AC power cables are connected and the server has not yet been 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.

Ethernet ports (0-3)
The four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports enable you to connect the system to the network. To achieve 10-GbE network speeds, use Category 6A (or better) cables and network devices that support 10GBASE-T networks.
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.
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. See SER MGT Port Pinout to use a crossover cable or adapter for this connection.
