See Using the Setup utility in theProblem Determination and Service Guide for more information.v Ethernet connectors: Use either of these connectors to connect the server to anetwork. When you enable shared Ethernet for IMM2 in the Setup utility, you canaccess the IMM2 using either the Ethernet 1 or the system-managementEthernet (default) connector.
