Front Control Panel and I/O Panel Overview
All system configurations include a control panel on the front of the system providing push button system
controls and LED indicators for system features. Systems configured with eight 3.5” hard drive bays or up to
sixteen 2.5” hard drive bays will also include an I/O Panel providing additional system I/O features. This
section describes the features and functions of both front panel options.

Video connector
– The front I/O panel video connector gives the option of attaching a monitor to the
front of the system. When BIOS detects that a monitor is attached to the front video connector, it
disables the video signals routed to the on-board video connector on the back of the system. Video
resolution from the front video connector may be lower than that of the rear onboard video connector. A
short video cable should be used for best resolution. The front video connector is cabled to a 2x7
header on the server board labeled “FP Video”.
USB 2.0/3.0 Ports
–The front I/O panel includes two USB 2.0/3.0 ports. The USB ports are cabled to a
blue 2x5 connector on the server board labeled “FP_USB”.
Note
: Due to signal strength limits associated with USB 3.0 ports cabled to a front panel, some marginally
compliant USB 3.0 devices may not be supported from these ports. In addition, server systems based on the
Intel® Server Board S2600WF cannot be USB 3.0 certified with USB 3.0 ports cabled to a front panel.
