management interface for the server. The primary management interface to the server is
through the NAS Manager or through server's command line interface (CLI), which can
be accessed through the network.
Any VT100 terminal emulation interface can be used to access to the CLI so that you can
perform management or configuration functions. Connect the terminal to the serial port
on the rear panel of the server, then set the host settings to the values shown in the
following table to ensure proper communication between the terminal and the server.

Note: Once the initial setup has been completed, disconnect the serial cable.
If you need to manage the server through a serial connection, connect to the
server’s embedded SMU and use SSH to access the server's CLI.
10/100/1000 Ethernet management ports
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management ports are used to connect the server or node to
the customer facing management network and the private management network, or to
connect directly to another device for management purposes.
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports operate at speeds of up to one (1) gigabit per second,
and require the use of a standard RJ45 cable connector. Once connected, each GE port
has two indicator LEDs; one on the top left and the second on the top right of the port.
Ethernet cables
CAT6 cables that fully comply with the CAT6 SF/UTP standard for the 1000Base-T GE
Ethernet network ports are required.
