Connect the SER MGT Cable
The serial management port on the SP is marked SER MGT. The SP SER MGT port is only
used for server management. It is the default connection between the SP and a terminal or a
computer. See “Front Panel Components” on page 13 and “Rear Panel Components” on page 14
for connector locations.
Caution -
Do not attach a modem to the SP SER MGT port.
Connect an RJ-45 cable (Category 5) from the SP SER MGT port to the terminal
device.
Use this port for initial server management. This port is needed to activate the NET MGT port,
as detailed in “Powering On the Server for the First Time” .
When connecting either a DB-9 or a DB-25 cable, use the appropriate crossover cable adapter
to create the required null modem configuration.
Note - To achieve 1-GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network devices
that support 1000BASE-T networks.
