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

      See Connect Cables and Power Cords.

  • 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.

    See Connect Cables and Power Cords.
