I/O Panel Overview
Table 1-1 lists the standard and optional connectors used with the Octane III cluster server
products. All the system connectors are located on the rear of the enclosure.
While an Octane III server cluster rear panel bulkhead supports the previously listed external
connections, not all will be available/usable with every system. Gigabit Ethernet connections 1, 2
and 3 are optional, and are usable
only when an internal Gigabit Ethernet switch is ordered with
the system.
Use of a DVI-I connector is available only with the installation of certain graphics interface
options.
See the information in Chapter 3 for additional technical descriptions of the individual connector
types available on the Octane III system.
