Read the following cable requirements for connecting the server.
Minimum cable connections for the server:
At least one server on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
See Ethernet Ports.
Serial management port (SER MGT): Service processor (SP) local connection for Oracle ILOM boot messages
See SER MGT Ports.
Power cables for the server power supplies
SP management ports:
The server includes two management ports for use with the Oracle ILOM service processor (SP).
The serial management port (SER MGT) is the default connection to the Oracle ILOM SP. The SP serial management port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available for a CLI connection.
See SER MGT Ports.
The network management port (NET MGT) is the optional connection to the Oracle ILOM SP. The SP network management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000 BASE-T connection.
See NET MGT Port.
NET Ethernet ports:
The Oracle Server X8-2 back panel includes five Ethernet network ports, labeled SER MGT, NET MGT, NET 0, NET 1, and NET 2 that connect the server to the network. The server Ethernet interfaces operate at 1000 Mbps, and 10,000 Mbps.
NET 0: 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 GbE port
NET 1: 10/25GbE SFP+ port or 10GBASE-T RJ-45 GbE port options
NET 2: 10/25GbE SFP+ port or 10GBASE-T RJ-45 GbE port options
See X8-2 Back Panel Connectors and Ports.
The Oracle Server X8-2L back panel includes three network Ethernet ports, labeled SER MGT, NET MGT, NET 0 that connect the server to the network. The server Ethernet interfaces operate at 100 Mbps (Oracle Server X8-2L only), 1000 Mbps, and 10,000 Mbps.
NET 0: 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 GbE port
See X8-2L Back Panel Connectors and Ports.
See Ethernet Ports.
USB Ports: The server USB ports support hot-plug insertion and removal. You can connect and disconnect USB cables and peripheral devices while the server is running without affecting server operations.
See USB Port.
AC power cables: The server has two power supply connectors, one for each power supply.
