port, PS/2 interface for both mouse and keyboard, one VGA/monitor
port, one external serial port and one internal serial port header, one
parallel port with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP)/Enhanced Parallel
Port (EPP) support, and for networking, two NIC ports (RJ-45).

in a 2+1 redundant configuration (third module optional).
In terms of serviceability, the system features front access to hot-swap
hard disk drives, rear access to hot-swap power supplies, and side
