VGA Port

The server has two 15-pin VGA video ports, one port on the front and one on the back of the server. See Front Panel Components and Rear Panel Components. Use a DB-15 video cable to connect to a video adapter to achieve the required connection. The maximum supported resolution is 1024 x 768.


Note -  Only one of the two ports can be used at a time. The rear VGA port is disabled by default. To enable the rear port and disable the front port, you must enable the Oracle ILOM VGA_REAR_PORT policy. Type: -> set /SP/policy VGA_REAR_PORT=enabled.

Note -  The cable length used to connect between the monitor and the VGA port should not be over 6 meters.
