Connecting an Ethernet cable
About this task
Perform this task before you set up a network environment or log in to the HDM management
interface through the HDM dedicated network port to manage the server.
Procedure
1.
Determine the network port on the server.
{
To connect the server to the external network, use the Ethernet port on the Ethernet
adapter.
{
To log in to the HDM management interface, use the HDM dedicated or shared network port
on the server.
HDM shared network port is available only if an NCSI-capable mLOM or PCIe Ethernet
adapter is installed.
For the position of the HDM dedicated network port, see "Rear panel view." For the position
of the HDM shared network port on an mLOM or PCIe Ethernet adapter, see "
2.
Determine type of the Ethernet cable.
Verify the connectivity of the cable by using a link tester.
If you are replacing the Ethernet cable, make sure the new cable is the same type or compatible
with the old cable.
