Caution – Insert the connector straight into the server module. The cable dongle is

 

 

 

for temporary connections only. The cable dongle has not been evaluated for

 

 

 

electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The cable dongle or server module connectors

 

 

 

could be damaged by closing rack doors or other impacts. Remove the cable dongle

 

 

 

during normal system operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note – If you are using the older 4-cable dongle (UCP-4), do not use the RJ-45

 

 

 

connector with the Sun Blade T6320 server module. Use the DB-9 connector for serial

 

 

 

connections.
