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