Attach Devices to the Server
This section provides information about connecting devices to server (remotely and locally), so
you can interact with the service processor (SP) and the server console. For port and connector
“Back Panel Ports and Connectors” on page 45
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET) connectors as needed
for OS support.
2.
To connect to the service processor's Oracle ILOM over the network, connect an
Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT.
3.
To access the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) locally using the
management port, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port
labeled SER MGT.
4.
To interact with the system console locally, connect a mouse and keyboard to
the server front panel USB connectors and a monitor to the server front panel
DB-15 video connector.
Configuring Serial Port Sharing
By default, the SP console (NET MGT) port sends serial port output from the server. Using
Oracle ILOM, you can specify that the host console (COMM1) be assigned as owner of the
server's serial port output. This feature is useful for Windows kernel debugging, as it enables
you to view non-ASCII character traffic from the host console.
You should set up the network on the SP before attempting to change the serial port owner to
the host server. If the network is not set up, and you switch the serial port owner to the host
