Input/output Connectors and Expansion Slots - Netfinity 5600 - Type 8664
Input/output Connectors and Expansion Slots
The following illustrations show the expansion slots and the input/output connectors (ports) on the rear of the server.
Tower model
Rack model
1 Advanced System Management Interconnect Knockout:
The server has an external connector knockout for the Advanced System Management Interconnect option.
This option allows you to connect rack or multirack systems through a daisy-chain cable in half-duplex mode.
2 External Connector Knockout:
The server has an external connector knockout that can be used when you install options.
3 PCI Expansion Slots:
The server has five available peripheral component interconnect (PCI) expansion slots.
Three of the PCI slots support hot-plug PCI adapters.
Many adapters provide bus-master capabilities, which enable the adapters to perform operations
without interrupting the system microprocessors.
4 Serial A Connector:
A serial signal cable for a modem or other serial device connects to this 9-pin serial connector.
Serial port A can be shared by the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor and the operating system.
See 'Devices and I/O Ports' for port assignment information.
If you are using a 25-pin signal cable, you need a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter cable.
5 Serial B Connector:
A serial signal cable for a modem or other serial device connects to this 9-pin serial connector.
Serial port B is used by the operating system and cannot be shared by the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.
See 'Devices and I/O Ports' for port assignment information.
If you are using a 25-pin signal cable, you need a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter cable.
6 Hot-Plug PCI Expansion Slots:
The server has three hot-plug PCI expansion slots.
7 Attention Lights for Hot-Plug PCI Slots:
Each hot-plug PCI slot has an Attention light that is visible from the rear of the server.
An Attention light flashes approximately once per second when it is on.
The meaning of the Attention lights is defined by the operating system.
Refer to the operating system documentation to determine if it supports hot-plug PCI adapters and, if so, what the
Attention lights indicate.
8 Non-Hot-Plug PCI Expansion Slots:
The server has two non-hot-plug PCI expansion slots.
9 Parallel Connector:
A signal cable for a parallel device, such as a printer, connects here.
10 SCSI Connector: External SCSI devices attach here.
For more information, see 'Connecting external options'.
11 Management Port C Connector:
This connector is used to attach a modem that is dedicated to
communication with the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.
12 Video Connector:
The monitor signal cable connects here.
13 Universal Serial Bus 1 and 2 Connectors:
You can attach an I/O device to either of these universal serial bus (USB) connectors.
USB 2 is the connector nearest to the edge of the server.
You need a 4-pin cable to connect a device to USB 1 or 2.
Note: If a standard (non-USB) keyboard is attached to the keyboard port, the USB ports
are disabled while the power-on self-test (POST) is running and no USB devices will work during POST.
14 Ethernet Connector:
The server has one RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
This connector is for attaching the network cable to the integrated 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, twisted-pair transceiver.
15 Mouse Connector:
The mouse cable connects here.
This port sometimes is called an auxiliary-device or pointing-device port.
16 Keyboard Connector:
The keyboard cable connects here.
17 Power Connectors:
The power cords for the power supplies connect here.
Note: For pin assignments and other details about these
connectors, see 'Connecting external options'.
