I thought so too, but the config guide for that series, interestingly<br>
enough, looks to be the opposite.<br>
<br>
See page 5-41 for a screen shot of the BMC network config in the BIOS settings.<br>
<br>
and then the rear panel and motherboard diagrams (pages 1-6 and 4-2<br>
respectively).<br>
<br>
It does indeed appear that you can either configure the dedicated<br>
management port (DM1) OR a shared, separate port (LAN1) (not sure if<br>
it would allow you to configure them simultaneously though).<br>
<br>
I don't believe I have ever seen this sort of network setup before.<br>
