Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 2-23
Note – Shielded cables are required for serial I/O ports. Unshielded cables can be
used on Ethernet ports to satisfy EMI compliance standards. The shields for all
shielded cables must be terminated on both ends.
Information on connecting each of these cables follows:
■ For Ethernet connections, category 5e or better network cable is required. One
end of the Ethernet cable is connected to a suitable 10/100/1000BASE-T switch
and the other end to one of the Ethernet ports on the Netra CP3260 blade server.
A single 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port is also available on a Netra CP32x0 ARTM
when installed. Refer to the appropriate Netra CP32x0 ARTM User’s Guide for
more information.
Use the Ethernet device names shown in
TABLE 2-1 when configuring the Ethernet
ports.
■ A shielded asynchronous serial I/O cable can be attached from serial
communication devices to the RJ-45 serial port on the Netra CP3260 blade
server’s front panel.
A serial port is also provided on the Netra CP32x0 ARTM. You can use either the
serial port on the Netra CP3260 blade server or the serial port on Netra CP32x0
ARTM, but only one of the ports should be used at one time.
Once a serial cable is connected, use the tip utility on the host to establish a
full-duplex terminal connection with the Netra CP3260 blade server.
At the UNIX prompt in a command tool or shell tool, type:
■ USB 2.0 cables can be attached from USB devices to the dual USB 2.0-compliant
ports on the Netra CP3260 blade server’s front panel.
