2.5 USB Port Connection
Most console server models have external USB ports and these ports are mostly USB2.0. They can be used for:

connecting to USB consoles of Managed Devices (e.g. for managing UPS supplies)

attaching other external USB peripherals (e.g. an external USB memory stick or modem)

adding supported Sierra Wireless cellular USB modems

plugging in USB hubs to provide additional ports
Some console server models also have a USB1.1 port and this is best reserved for use with an external USB memory
stick dedicated to recovery firmware boot images/ extended log file storage etc.

The I M42xx-2-DAC-X2-G and I M42xx-2-DAC-X0-G models have one USB1.1 port on the front face and one USB 2.0
port at the rear face. This USB2.0 port uses a micro-AB USB connector so an adapter cable is also included. T hese
models also have 16 GB flash installed internally via a USB 2.0 flash drive for improved logging.

All the other models in the IM42xx-X family ( IM42xx-2-DxC-Xx models such as IM4208-2-DAC-X0, IM4248-2-DDC-X2
and IM4216-34-DAC-X2) have one USB1.1 port on the front face and two additional USB 2.0 ports at the rear face
(adjacent to modem jack). These IM42xx-X models also have an internal 16 GB flash drive.

The ACM5500 and IM4004-5 models all have an internal 4GB USB flash drive as well as two unallocated external
USB2.0 ports

The ACM5000 models have two USB2.0 ports. However one or both of these may be pre-allocated internally. For
example the ACM5004-W has one internal USB committed for the 802.11 adapter, so there is only one external USB
port free. Similarly with ACM5004-F model an internal USB flash is fitted, using up one of the two USB2.0 ports
2.6 Fitting Cellular SIM and Antennas
The ACM5504-5-G-I, ACM5004-G and ACM5004-G-I each has an internal 3G cellular modem that requires at least
one (or more) SIM cards to be installed and at least one external antenna to be attached. The ACM5004-GV also
has an internal cellular modem requiring external antenna connection however the Verizon network does not
require a SIM card.
