Solution

This is the RSC for Sun Enterprise [TM] 250. It contains a DB-25 RS232 serial and an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. For the Ethernet port the supported cables are: P/N 530-1871 ² and P/N 530-2093 ² .

2) P/N  540-4406 ³ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

This card, also known as "alarm board", is supported in Netra [TM] CT400/Netra [TM]CT800 (as P/N 540-5610) servers and it has 2 RJ-45 serial ports (RS232 port on RJ-45 connector, see the pinout below), a RJ-45 Ethernet port, a DB-15 alarm port and a PCMCIA slot for modem connection.

3) P/N 501-4901 ⁴ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

It's a second generation RSC, known also as RSC2 type  A , supported in Sun Fire [TM] 280R servers. It has only two connectors on its mounting bracket. The connectors are an RJ-11 jack for plugging an analog telephone line into the on-board modem, and an RJ-45 jack for plugging in a twisted-pair Ethernet cable.  To connect to the card through the RJ-11 plug you need cable P/N 530-3051 .

4) P/N 501-5856 ⁴ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

As P/N 501-4901 (see above), it's a second generation RSC (RSC2 type  B ) and in fact it's given as alternative P/N for the previous one. Besides it's also supported in Sun Fire [TM] V480 and Sun Fire [TM] V880 servers. It has three connectors on its mounting bracket. The first two connectors are the same as the type  A  board (RJ-11 analog modem and RJ-45 Ethernet). The third connector is an RS232 port on an RJ-45 jack (see the pinout below). This connector allows the system administrator to attach an RS232 terminal or an external modem to the RSC card.  To connect to the card through the RJ-11 plug you need cable P/N 530-3051 .

5) P/N 501-6123 ³ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

This type of RSC is supported in Netra [TM] CT410/Netra [TM]CT810 (as P/N 501-6171 ) servers and, as P/N 540-4406 , is known also as "alarm board". It contains 2 RJ45 serial ports, 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports and two DB15 alarm ports.

6) P/N  501-6346 ⁵ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

This card is supported in Sun Fire [TM] V250/V440 Netra [TM] 440 servers and it's known as Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) or Remote Management Card (RMC). It contains an RJ-45 serial and an RJ-45 Ethernet port.

RMC replaces RCS and ignores the ALOM bit because this is just a way of naming the application that runs on the RMC card.

7) P/N 501-6767 ⁶ (go to Sun[TM] System Handbook for more info)

This card is supported in Sun Fire [TM] V490/V890 servers and it's known as Advanced Lights Out Manager Plus.It contains an RJ-45 serial and an RJ-45 Ethernet port.

The Advanced Lights Out Manager Plus Card runs RSC 2.2.2.

Note: The pin assignments on the RJ-45 serial port are identical to those on the Netra [TM] T1 model 100 server, 105 server, AC200 server, DC200 server, and the Netra[TM] X1 server. There s only one difference.The RSC card does not use pin 7, which is the DSR input signal on the Netra computers. However, the lack of a DSR signal is not important. The RSC card will work with the very same cable that you use for the Netra[TM] computers listed above. For a complete reference of SUN[TM] machines  communication ports have a look at
