Connecting Cables
These topics explain how to connect the data and power cables to the server:
Cabling Requirements
Review these cabling notes before attaching cables to the server.
■
Minimum cable connections for the server:
■
At least one server on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
■
The SER MGT port
■
The NET MGT port
■
A power cable for each power supply
■
SP management ports:
There are two management ports for use with the SP.
■
The SER MGT port
uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the
default connection to the SP.
■
The NET MGT port
is the optional connection to the SP. This port becomes
available after you configure network settings for the SP (through the SER MGT
port).
The NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection. This
port does not support connections to Gigabit networks.
