The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Note You can connect a keyboard to any USB port and connect a monitor to the video connector to troubleshoot the BIOS boot process. However, video output is for troubleshooting only during the BIOS boot process. The video output stops displaying when the serial port becomes active. To monitor the boot process in normal operation, use the serial console port.

The WAVE appliance supports two Ethernet connectors and one Console port on the back of the appliance.
Figure 1-3 shows the back panel ports and connectors.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
This section contains the following topics:
•Console Port Serial Connector
Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to an Ethernet connector. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require Category 5 or higher cabling.
The WAVE-574 appliance has two Ethernet connectors that are attached to the Ethernet controllers (see Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-5). The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers.
Note There is a third RJ45 connector on the rear of the appliance (see Figure 1-3). This is the unused system management port. Do not connect this port to your network.
If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with this primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant Ethernet connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed, switching occurs without data loss or user intervention.
Figure 1-5 Ethernet Port Connector
The WAVE-574 appliance has one console port connector (see Figure 1-6). Use the console port connector to access the command-line interface (CLI) for controlling the WAVE appliance.
