RCM 2.0 cabling

Connecting the chassis to the network

The optional RCM module can connect multiple chassis to the same network.

Installing the RCM module

Prerequisites
Observe the following rules and limitations when installing or replacing an RCM module:
• Before installing the RCM module, ensure that all servers in the chassis are powered down. For more
information on powering down the server, see the server user guide.
• If the RCM module is installed on the chassis, the iLO Management Ports in the servers will be
automatically disabled.
• Use either the APM port or an iLO port to connect to a network. Having both ports connected at the
same time results in a loopback condition.
• If using the RCM module iLO ports to connect multiple chassis to the network, the network must
operate at a speed of 1 Gb/s. The servers installed in the chassis cannot connect to the network if the
network is operating at a speed of 10/100 Mb/s or 10 Gb/s.
• If using the RCM module iLO ports to connect multiple chassis to the network, do not connect more
than one iLO port to the network at the same time. Only one iLO port can be connected to the network,
while the other iLO ports can be used to connect multiple chassis together. Having more than one iLO
port connected to the network at the same time results in a loopback condition.
Procedure
1. Remove the cover from the RCM cable connector.
