the AC outlet. To remove a power supply module, you will have to gain access to the mounting
screws inside the chassis. Contact Tech support for help with the removal procedure.
The two round connectors [K] [L] are for a PS/2 keyboard or a mouse. The green connector is
for a mouse, and the purple connector is for a keyboard. To the right of these two connectors
are USB connectors. These can be used for USB drive(s), memory key(s), hub(s), and/or a
USB keyboard or mouse. To the right of the USB connectors is a green serial connector. It is
not used. To the right of the serial connector is an analog VGA connector. You may attach a
console monitor here. To the right of the VGA connector are two gigabit Ethernet ports. The
left port (if you are facing the rear) is port 1, the right port is port 2.
The vertical slits on the right (called slots) hold the host adapters which are inside the system.
Going from left to right, we see an empty slot, then the Fibre Channel host bus adapters [used
to connect to your host system], with two LEDs associated with each connector; one LED
indicates 4Gb host connectivity, two LEDs indicate 8Gb connectivity. Each Fibre connector
can be connected to a unique host system. Next to the Fibre HBA are empty slots, followed
by a SAS RAID Controller card that the 12 Disk drives are connected to. Be aware that a
green LED blinks continuously indicating the processor on the adapter is functioning. The
other blinks during activity.
