Sun Microsystems CP3260 manual 1Ethernet Device Names

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 2-1when 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:

#tip -9600 /dev/ttya (for serial port)

■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.
