Environmental Requirements Description Value Idle input power 678 W Peak AC input power (running SpecJBB) 1480 W The maximum operating input current values are based on the formula P / (V *0.90), Note - where P = maximum operating input power and V = input voltage. For example: 620W / (100V * 0.90) = 6.89A You can use this formula to calculate the maximum operating current at your input voltage.
Proper airflow is essential for keeping the server's internal temperatures within a safe Caution - operating range. Air flows from the front to the rear of the server. Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the server: SPARC T5-4 Server Installation Guide • July 2015...

(PC or workstation). The server goes into Standby mode and the Oracle ILOM SP initializes as soon as the AC power cables are connected to the power source.
The SER MGT RJ-45 port, located on the rear panel, provides an TIA/EIA-232 serial Oracle/ Cisco standard connection to the SP. This port is the default connection to the Oracle ILOM system controller. For DTE to DTE communications, you can use the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the required null modem configuration.
The NET MGT RJ-45 port, located on the rear panel, provides an optional Ethernet connection to the SP. The NET MGT port is an optional connection to the Oracle ILOM SP. The SP NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100BASE-T connection. If your network does not use a DHCP server, this port will not be available until you configure network settings through the SER MGT port.
