Serial Port
One serial port is provided on the rear I/O to supply COM2 using an 8-pin RJ45 connector (see
Table 16). The COM2 serial port can be used either as an emergency management port or as a
normal serial port. As an emergency management port (EMP), COM2 is used as a communication
path by the server management software that provides a level of emergency management through
an external modem. Figure 35 describes the serial port’s connections.
