Connect the SER MGT Cable
The SER MGT 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 14 and “Rear Panel Components” on page 15 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” on page 65 .
When connecting either a DB-9 or a DB-25 cable, use the appropriate crossover cable adapter
to create the required null modem configuration.

Connect the NET MGT Cable
The SP NET MGT port is labeled NET MGT. After the initial server configuration, you can
connect to the SP over an Ethernet network using this NET MGT port.
If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, the DHCP server will assign an IP
address to this NET MGT port. With this IP address, you can connect to the SP using an SSH
connection. If your network does not use DHCP, this NET MGT port will not be accessible
until you configure the network settings through the SER MGT port. For instructions, see
“Assign a Static IP Address to the NET MGT Port” on page 79 .
