ports are USB 2.0-compliant.

Caution:

Use of connected peripheral devices, such

as a USB keyboard and mouse or a VGA display, is
not supported and may cause incorrect system
operation.

NMI buttons

Not used.

Node Rear Panel Connectors

Figure 5 on the next page

show the connectors located on the rear panel of the DXi6900 G2 Node.

above

describes each item.

Note:

Refer to the port numbering labels on the back of the Node chassis to help you determine the

correct port connections.

Caution:

Do not disconnect any SAS cables from the Node during normal system operation.

Unplugging a SAS cable while the system is powered on may result in data loss.

10 GbE Cable Types

Depending on the configuration, Quantum DXi6900 G2 systems support one of the following 10 GbE
cable types:

10 GbE optical cable lengths of up to 300
meters with OM3 cables and up to 100
meters with OM2 cables

Quantum recommends using the two 10 meter LC to LC
type optical cables that are shipped with the DXi6900 G2
system. Consult your 10 GbE optical switch/SFP
documentation for additional information on optical cable
requirements.
