Back Cable Connections and Ports
Note -
To achieve 10 GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network
devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.
The LEDs located above each NET port are Link/Activity (left) and Speed (right) indicators for
each port. The following table lists the Ethernet transfer rates and the Speed LED color.

Powering On the Oracle Exadata Rack
For instructions on how to power on the Oracle Exadata Rack, refer to the
Oracle Exadata
Database Machine Installation and Configuration Guide
.
Caution -
Do not connect the power cords to the storage server until you have made the service
processor (SP) and host networking cable connections. The storage server includes an SP that
you use to configure and boot the host system. Connecting the SP and host networking cables
first enables you to properly configure the host system and view SP messages.
Server Boot Process and Normal Operating State Indicators
A normal server boot process involves two indicators, the service processor SP OK LED
indicator and the System OK LED indicator.
When you connect AC power to the server, the server boots into standby power mode:
1. The SP OK LED blinks slowly (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off) while the SP is starting,
and the main System OK LED remains off until the SP is ready.
2. After a few minutes, the main System OK LED slowly flashes the standby blink pattern
(0.1 seconds on, 2.9 seconds off), indicating that the SP is ready for use. In Standby power
mode, the server is not initialized or fully powered on at this point.
When powering on the server (either by the On/Standby button or Oracle ILOM), the server
boots to Main power mode:
