● You want to log in to the intelligent baseboard management controller
(iBMC) of the server over the management network port for device
management.
● One or more network cables do not work.
● A network cable needs to be replaced when the existing network cable does
not meet length requirements after a device is replaced or moved.
Prerequisites

Tools
● Phillips screwdriver: used to tighten screws.
● Electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or ESD gloves: used to prevent ESD
damage.
● Diagonal pliers: used to trim the cable ties after binding cables.
● RJ45 crimping tool: used to make network cable connectors.
● Network cable tester: used to test the cable connectivity.

Hardware
● Use a network cable tester to check that the new network cable works
properly.
● Check that the new network cable is of the same model as or compatible
with the network cable to be replaced. Make clear whether they are straight-
through cables or crossover cables.
