Cabling Requirements
This section describes the server cabling requirements.
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: There are two service processor management ports.
-
The SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the default connection to the Oracle ILOM SP.
See SER MGT Ports.
-
The network management port (NET MGT) port is the optional connection to the Oracle ILOM SP. The SP network management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection.
See NET MGT Ports.
-
-
NET Ethernet ports: The Ethernet ports, labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3, connect the server to the network. The server Ethernet interfaces operate at 100 Mbit/sec, 1000 Mbit/sec, and 10,000 Mbit/sec.
See Ethernet Ports.
-
USB Ports: USB ports support hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect USB cables and peripheral devices while the server is running without affecting server operations.
See USB Ports.
-
AC power cables: The server includes four power supply connectors, one for each power supply.
