Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 are the main Network Interface Card (NIC) ports
that carry traffic for the primary application of the server. These ports are
configured to run in redundant mode with one port active and the other on
standby, so connect them to a redundant host switch.
The Remote Supervisor Adaptor (RSA-II) is a PCI card that provides
an Ethernet interface for remote system management of the server. It
includes an embedded Web server. When the server is secured, the
RSA-II card Ethernet port provides HTTPS/SSH access to the RSA-II card
for remote management of the server. This includes access to controls
to manage the power state of the server and inspect physical attributes,
as well as to gain encrypted remote access to the physical console of the
server. This port is typically cabled to a port in a maintenance network,
separate from the network used for the primary application of the server.
The COM1 serial port provides serial console access using an industry
standard RS-232 serial cable and is typically connected to either a terminal
server such as the MRV Models LX-40XX or it can be attached to a serial
port on another computer using a null modem cable. If the COM1 serial
