Connecting Twisted-Pair Ethernet
Cables
Connect a twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) cable to the Ethernet ports on the back
panel. Each network interface is capable of 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps
operation depending on network characteristics.
1. Choose a network port, using
as a guide.
Select the correct TPE connector for the interface you are installing. The server comes
with four TPE connectors on the back panel. Your server might also include one or
more TPE connectors provided on PCI Ethernet interface cards.
For ease of identifying the Ethernet cables later, use a piece of tape or some other
method of marking it to differentiate it from other cables.
4
Ethernet ports (4)
You use these ports to connect to your Ethernet network.
The lower left port is NET0; the lower right port is NET1;
the upper left port is NET2; the upper right port is NET3.
See
“Connecting Twisted-Pair Ethernet Cables” on page 26
5
DB9 serial port (TTYB)
This is a POSIX-compliant serial port. An adapter is
included in the system ship kit in order to connect this port
to an RJ-45 cable. See the
Sun Fire V445 Server Administration
Guide
for more information.
6
Serial management port
(SER MGT)
This is the default port for accessing ALOM features during
initial system startup. Note that the serial management port
is not a standard serial port. See the
Sun Fire V445 Server
Administration Guide
for more information.
