Cabling Requirements

Review these cabling notes before attaching cables to the server.
Minimum cable connections for the server:
■
At least one server on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
■
The SER MGT port
■
The NET MGT port
■
A power cable for each power supply
■
SP management ports: There are two management ports for use with the SP.
■
The SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the
■
default connection to the SP.
The NET MGT port is the optional connection to the SP. This port becomes
■
available after you configure network settings for the SP (through the SER MGT
port).
The NET MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100 BASE-T connection. This
port does not support connections to Gigabit networks.
