Attaching Devices During Service

During service procedures, you might have to connect devices to the server.
For OS support, connect an Ethernet cable to the one of the Ethernet connectors (NET 0,
■
NET 1, NET 2, and NET 3).
If you plan to interact with the system console directly, you can connect additional external
■
devices, such as a mouse and keyboard, to the server's USB connectors, and connect a
monitor to a DB-15 video connector. The front DB-15 video connector is active by default.
To enable the rear port and disable the front port, you must enable the Oracle ILOM
VGA_REAR_PORT policy: ->
selecting an active video port, refer to
Administration
If you plan to connect to the Oracle ILOM software over the network, connect an Ethernet
■
cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT.
Note -
the SPM to share one of the sever's four Ethernet ports instead. The SPM uses only the
configured Ethernet port.
If you plan to access the Oracle ILOM CLI through the SER MGT port, connect a serial null
■
modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port labeled SER MGT.
The USB connectors on the front panel support USB 2.0. The USB connectors on the rear
■
panel support USB 3.0.
