Introducing the DTACS Servers and the ILOM Port
The DTACS Servers
We have chosen the Sun Netra T5220 and T5440 servers for the DTACS platform.
These servers use Sun's UltraSPARC T2 processors and Solaris architecture, and are
designed to easily mount within a standard computer rack.

Taken as a whole, the serial management port and the network management port of
the DTACS servers constitute the Sun Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM)
port. The ILOM port is a system controller that allows the servers to be managed and
administered from remote locations. Through the ILOM port, you can monitor and
control the servers through a serial connection (using the SERIAL MGT port) or an
Ethernet connection (using the NET MGT port).

Important: Your DTACS server should have the appropriate video and SCSI cards
installed before the unit is ever shipped to you. Contact Cisco Services if these cards
have not yet been installed.
