Attach Devices to the Server
No. Cable Port or Expansion Slot Description
Note - Oracle ILOM signals a fault on any installed power supply
that is not connected to an AC power source, since it might indicate
a loss of redundancy.
2 Network management port (NET MGT) The service processor NET MGT port is the optional connection
to the Oracle ILOM service processor. The NET MGT port is
configured by default to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). The service processor NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable
for a 10/100/1000BASE-T connection.
3 Ethernet port (NET 0) The Ethernet port enables you to connect the system to the network.
The Ethernet port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000BASE-T
connection.
4 USB port The USB port supports hot-plugging. You can connect and
disconnect a USB cable or a peripheral device while the server is
running without affecting system operations.
5 Serial management port (SER MGT) The service processor SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and
terminal (or emulator) to provide access to the Oracle ILOM
command-line interface (CLI). Using Oracle ILOM, you can
configure it to connect to the system console.
Note -
This port does not support network connections.
Configuring Serial Port Sharing
By default, the SP console (SER MGT) port sends serial port output from the server. Using
Oracle ILOM, you can specify that the host console (COM1) be assigned as owner of the server
serial port output. This feature is useful for Windows kernel debugging, as it enables you to
view non-ASCII character traffic from the host console.
Set up the network on the SP before attempting to change the serial port owner to the host
server. If the network is not set up, and you switch the serial port owner to the host server, you
cannot connect using the CLI or web interface to change the serial port owner back to the SP.
To return the serial port owner setting to the SP, restore access to the serial port on the server.
For details, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 4.0 Documentation
Library at
http://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs
.
You can assign serial port output using either the Oracle ILOM web interface or the command-
line interface (CLI). For instructions, see the following sections:
