How to Connect System Cables

Use the following procedure to make a physical serial or network connection to Oracle
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM), located in the SP. This connection is used for initial
setup and configuration.
It is strongly recommended that you use a serial SP connection for configuring the primary
network interface and for initial configuration because you can monitor progress, especially
during system reboots. Afterwards, it is recommended that you remove the serial connection
if you do not need it for CLI access. Instead, make a network SP connection, which
allows for better collection of platform data, as described in
Faults" on page
1. To prepare for configuring the primary network interface, perform one of the
following SP connections:
For a serial SP connection (recommended), attach a serial cable from the SER MGT port on
■
the rear panel of the controller to the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 to
RJ45 adapter if necessary.
For a network SP connection, attach an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the rear
■
panel of the controller to your Ethernet switch.
