The DRAC 5 includes one onboard 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 NIC, a 50-pin management cable, and a 44-pin
MII cable. See Figure 1-1 for the DRAC 5 cable connectors.
The 50-pin management cable is the main interface to the DRAC that provides connectivity to USB,
serial, video, and an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus. The 44-pin MII cable connects the DRAC NIC to
the system’s motherboard. The RJ-45 connector connects the DRAC NIC to an out-of-band connection
when the DRAC 5 is configured in Dedicated NIC mode.
