Rear view

The following illustration shows the connectors and LEDs on the rear of the server.

v

PCI slot 1:

Insert a low-profile PCI Express or PCI-X adapter into this slot. You

can purchase an optional PCI Express or PCI-X riser-card assembly with bracket
if you want to install a PCI adapter in this slot.

v

PCI slot 2:

Insert a half-length, full-height PCI Express or PCI-X adapter into this

slot. Standard models of the server come with one PCI Express riser-card
assembly installed in this slot. You can purchase an optional PCI-X riser-card
assembly with bracket if you want to install a PCI-X adapter in this slot.

v

Power connector:

Connect the power cord to this connector.

Note:

Power supply 1 is the default/primary power supply. If power supply 1
fails, you must replace it immediately.

v

Video connector:

Connect a monitor to this connector. The video connectors on

the front and rear of the server can be used simultaneously.

Note:

The maximum video resolution is 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz.

v

Serial connector:

Connect a 9-pin serial device to this connector. The serial port

is shared with the integrated management module (IMM). The IMM can take
control of the shared serial port to redirect serial traffic, using Serial over LAN
(SOL).

v

USB connectors:

Connect a USB device, such as a USB mouse or keyboard to

any of these connectors.

v

Systems-management Ethernet connector:

Use this connector to manage the

server, using a dedicated management network. If you use this connector, the
IMM cannot be accessed directly from production network. A dedicated
management network provides additional security by physically separating the
management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup
utility to configure the server to use a dedicated systems management network or
a shared network.

v

Ethernet connectors:

Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a

network. When you use the Ethernet 1 connector, the network can be shared
with the IMM through a single network cable.

The following illustration shows the LEDs on the rear of the server.
