Connect the EMS Network Cables
Each EMS contains two 10-GbE RJ-45 ports (10GBASE-T) that provide the network
connection to the server.
Depending on your configuration, connect at least one Category 6A or 7 network
cable to an EMS port on each PDomain. To provide redundancy, connect the two
network cables from an EMS from one PDomain to two separate network switches or
hubs on your network.
Note –
To achieve 10-GbE network speeds, you must use Category 6A or Category 7
network cables, and your network switches or hubs must support the 10GBASE-T
Ethernet standard. The network cable length must not exceed 328 ft (100 meters).
Caution – Only EMS modules are supported in the EMS slots. Installing other PCIe
express modules in these slots is not supported and could damage the server and the
express module.
1. Locate the EMS modules at the rear of the server.
The EMS modules are located in each IOU, above and below the hard drives.
2. Connect a Category 6A (or better) cable from your network switch or hub to the
10-GbE port 0 on the EMS.
