The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management ports are used to connect the server or node to the customer facing management network and the private management network, or to connect directly to another device for management purposes.
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports operate at speeds of up to one (1) gigabit per second, and require the use of a standard RJ45 cable connector. Once connected, each GE port has two indicator LEDs; one on the top left and the second on the top right of the port.
These LEDs provide link status and network activity status information as described in the next table:
