1.6 Connecting the Cables

Connect cables to the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine as follows:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET0) connectors as needed for operating system support. See the part 8 in Figure 1-2.
2. (Optional) If you want to interact with the system console directly, connect any external devices, such as a mouse and keyboard, to the server's USB connectors, or a monitor to the DB-15 video connector. See parts 9 and 13 in Figure 1-2.
3. If you plan to configure network IP address for Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM), connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled SER MGT. See the part 12 in Figure 1-2.
4. If you plan to access the 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. See the part 12 in Figure 1-2.
