11. Serial Port Usage

The SR1300 server chassis, when integrated with a server board SE7500WV2 or SE7501WV2,

provides one external RJ45 serial port (Serial B) .

The use of RJ45 connectors for the serial interface is widely becoming a standard for use in the

high-density server market. The intended usage model for the RJ45 serial connector is for use

as an interface to a serial port concentrator allowing for remote access to the server’s

Emergency Management Port (EMP). See the SE7500WV2 or SE7501WV2 Hardware

Technical Product Specifications for more information concerning server management and EMP

usage.

The intended use for the RJ45 serial port, located in the back of the system, is for remote EMP

communication by connecting the port to a serial terminal concentrator. With the optional RJ45-

to-DB9 adapter, the serial port can also be configured for use with a modem or other serial

device requiring a DB9 connection to the serial port.
