For a local serial connection – Connect a serial cable between the server serial
management port (SER MGT) and a terminal device.
This connection provides initial communication with the SP. Set the server to
communicate using 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. For DTE-to-DTE
communication, use the supplied RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45
cable to set up a null modem connection (transmit and receive signals crossed

For a remote Ethernet connection – Connect an Ethernet cable between the
server network management port (NET MGT) and the network to which future
connections to the SP and host will be made.
