Alternative 1 - Connect network on server with PoE module

This section is for configuring CageEye servers that have a Power over Ethernet (PoE) module. To verify if a server has a PoE module installed, check the bottom right panel. If there are ethernet ports in the panel, the server has a PoE module installed, as shown in this image:
