Connections, Controls and Indicators
Connections
On the rear panel, HostEngine provides four USB 2.0 ports, two Gbps Ethernet ports, a COM
port and an IPMI 2.0 GbE port. The AC power receptacle is also on the rear panel.
HostEngine also provides access for Cubix HICs that connect to GPU-Xpander Rackmount 8 or
other Xpander enclosures using external PCIe x16 cables, if needed. With these connections,
you can mount HostEngine immediately above or below GPU-Xpander Rackmount 8. You can
also install PCIe cards inside HostEngine 4U. For example, install 4 x full-length, full-height,
double-wide GPUs inside HostEngine 4U.
Controls
The front panel provides the power on/off button and the
reset button. Pressing and releasing the power button
during operation will provide a graceful shutdown of the
operating system. Pressing and holding the power button
for 4 seconds or more forces HostEngine to power off.
See the image at the right.
Note
Power down HostEngine before removing it or its hard disk drive.
