provide hardware redundancy and failover capability, as well as load balancing on
outbound traffic. Should one of the interfaces fail, the software can automatically
switch all network traffic to an alternate interface to maintain network availability.
For more information about network connections, see "Configuring the Primary
Network Interface" on page 144 and "Configuring Additional Network Interfaces"
on page 145.

10BASE-T Network Management Port

The network management port (labeled NET MGT) is located on the chassis back
panel. This port is reserved for use with the ALOM system controller and the system
console.
This port provides direct network access to the ALOM system controller card and its
firmware. This port also provides access to the system console, power-on self-test
(POST) output messages, and ALOM system controller messages. Use this port to
perform remote administration, including externally initiated resets (XIR).

Serial Management and DB-9 Ports

The DB-9 port is POSIX compliant with a general-purpose DB-9 connector (labeled
TTYB) on the system back panel. The serial management port is an RJ-45 connector
(labeled SERIAL MGT) on the chassis back panel, and is reserved for use with the
ALOM system controller and the system console.
The serial management port enables you to set up a system console device, without
configuring an existing port. All power-on self-test (POST) and ALOM system
controller messages are directed to the serial management port by default. For more
information, see "About the Serial Ports" on page 96.

USB Ports

The front and back panels both provide two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports for
connecting peripheral devices such as modems, printers, scanners, digital cameras,
or a Sun Type-6 USB keyboard and mouse. The USB ports are USB 2.0 compliant,
and support 480 Mbps, 12 Mbps, and 1.5 Mbps speeds. For additional details, see
"About the USB Ports" on page 95.
