Introduction
1-3
of the server boards to support a total of four Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000 Base-
T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports Ultra ATA 100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard
I/O back panel ports include one COM port, a VGA port, two USB ports, two Gigabit
LAN (NIC) ports and (on the NovaScale R422-INF only) an In fi niBand® port. There are
two sets of I/O ports included in the server (one set for each sever board).
In fi niBand Port Bracke t:
The In fi niBand port bracket is a small "U" shaped bracket that secures the connector to
the I/O port shield. This allows the I/O shield, not the serverboard, to support the cable's
weight. The bracket can be found on the connector itself.
When installing the serverboard, remove the bracket from the In fi niBand port. Slide the
port through the shield, and then replace the bracket to secure the port to the I/O shield.
ATI Graphics Controller
The NovaScale R422 X7DBT/X7DBT-INF motherboard features an integrated ATI video
controller based on the ES1000 graphics chip. The ES1000 was designed speci fi cally for
servers, featuring low power consumption, high reliability and superior longevity.
