Rear Panel Ethernet Ports
The server has four GbE NIC ports mounted on the server board. These ports are
accessible from the rear of the chassis. Copper and fiber options are available. An
additional set of four rear-accessible GbE NIC ports can be added by using an x4 GbE
NIC PCI Express* (PCIe*) or PCI-X* card with rear I/O panel access ports. There are no
GbE NIC ports accessible from the front of the TIGW1U server.
The GbE NIC ports are intended to be installed with shielded cabling that is grounded at
both ends of the cable.
Warning:
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

SAS Front Panel (SFP) Board
The SAS front panel (SFP) board is located in front of the power supplies and extends
behind the hard drives. The SAS drives connect into the SFP board for power and
signals. The SFP board also provides optical drive and fan power connectors and the
user interface for the system’s front panel.
2.5.1
Front Panel Board Features
The SFP board has the following features:
• Four switches to control power-on, reset, NMI, and the system ID LED
• Four alarm relay and power relay LEDs
D
Major (amber)
When continuously lit, it indicates a Major System Fault. A major system
fault is an error or event that has discernable impact to system operation. In
this case, the system can continue to operate but in a “degraded” fashion
(reduced performance or loss of non-fatal feature reduction). An example is
the loss of one of two mirrored disks. The front panel major alarm relay
engages.
E
Minor (amber)
When continuously lit, it indicates a Minor System Fault. A minor system
fault is an error or event that is detected by the system but likely has little
impact to system operation. An example is a correctable ECC error. The front
panel minor alarm relay engages.
F
Power (amber)
When continuously lit, it indicates a Power System Fault. The front panel
power alarm relay engages.
Front Panel Status LEDs
G
Disk activity/fault LED
(green/amber)
Indicates SAS hard drive activity when blinking green, or a disk SAS hard
drive fault when amber. See the SAS HDD LEDs to determine specific drive
activity or fault.
H
Main power LED
(green)
When continuously lit, it indicates the presence of DC power in the server.
The LED goes out when the power is turned off or the power source is
disrupted.
I
NIC activity LED
(green)
Indicates NIC activity
J
System ID LED (white) Indicates system identity. THis LED can be toggled remotely or by front-
panel ID switch for identification purposes
