### 2.9.2 Cabling the Server

When connecting cables to the server, connect them in the order described in the following procedure.

### Cable the Server

Connect external cables to the server in the following order. Refer to Server Back Panel Connectors for the location of connectors on the back of the server.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet (NET) connectors as needed for OS support.
2. (Optional) If you plan to interact with the system console directly, connect any additional external devices, such as a mouse and keyboard, to the server’s USB connectors and/or a monitor to the DB-15 video connector.
3. If you plan to connect to the Oracle ILOM software over the network, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled NET MGT.

   Note - The service processor (SP) uses the NET MGT (out-of-band) port by default. You can configure the SP to share one of the sever’s four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports instead. The SP uses only the configured Ethernet port.

4. If you plan to access the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI) using the management port, connect a serial null modem cable to the RJ-45 serial port labeled SER MGT.
