Connect the Data Cables
To locate the server cable connections, see FIGURE: Rear Panel Cabling Reference on
page 76 .
1. (Recommended method) To cable the server for local connection to Oracle
System Assistant:
a. Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on the server.
b. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB connectors on the server.
2. (Alternative Method) To cable the server for connection to Oracle ILOM:
■
For a local serial connection – Connect a serial cable between the server serial
management port (SER MGT) and a terminal device.
This connection provides initial communication with the SP. Set the server to
communicate using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. For DTE-to-DTE
communication, use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45
cable to set up a null modem connection (transmit and receive signals crossed
over).
■
For a remote Ethernet connection
– Connect an Ethernet cable between the
server network management port (NET MGT) and the network to which future
connections to the SP and host will be made.
