3. If desired, connect a video monitor cable to the video connector.

Note –

Keyboard, mouse, and video are optional with an operating system that

supports headless operation.

Note –

The system console supports only a screen resolution of 1024 by 768 and a

color depth of 24 bits. This limitation is necessary to support video redirection by the
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).

4. Connect Ethernet cables to the “NET” connectors as required for your Gigabit

Ethernet or management network.

Note the following guidelines regarding the Ethernet (LAN) ports:

■

The port labeled “NET MGT” is a 10/100 Ethernet port that can connect your
system to a management network.

■

The ports labeled “NET 0” through “NET 3” are Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The order in which the BIOS detects the Ethernet ports during bootup and the
corresponding drivers that control those ports are listed below.
