Cabling Notes

This section contains important notes about cabling the server.

Minimum Connections

The following list includes the minimum cable connections for the Sun Fire V215 and
V245 servers:
At least one Ethernet network connection (NET port)
■
SC serial management port (SER MGT port)
■
SC network management port (NET MGT port)
■
Power cable(s)
■

System Controller Management Ports

There are two SC management ports for use with the ALOM system controller:
SC serial management port (labeled SER MGT) which uses an RJ-45 cable
■
This port is the default connection to the SC and is always available.
SC network management port (labeled NET MGT) which uses an RJ-45 cable
■
This port is the optional connection to the SC. It is not available until you
configure the network settings for the SC through the serial management port.
This port does not support connections to Gigabit networks. However, it will
correctly negotiate to a lower speed if connected to a 10/100/1000 Gigabit
Ethernet switch.

Socketed System Configuration Chip

Both servers include a socketed system configuration chip (SSCC). This device is
located on the motherboard and enables the user to transport vital system
information from one machine to another in the event of a unrecoverable system
failure.
