Chapter 4: Motherboard information

13. System panel auxiliary connector (20-pin AUX_PANEL1)
  This connector supports several server system functions.

•  Chassis Intrusion connector (3-pin CASEOPEN) 

This lead is for a chassis with an intrusion detection feature. This 

requires an external detection mechanism such as a chassis intrusion 

sensor or microswitch. When you remove any chassis component, the 

sensor triggers and sends a high-level signal to this lead to record a 

chassis intrusion event.

•  LAN1 link activity LED (2-pin LAN1_LINKACTLED) 

This 2-pin connector is for the LAN1 Activity LED. Connect the LAN1 

Activity LED cable to this connector. This LED blinks during a network 

activity and is always lit when linked.

•  LAN2 link activity LED (2-pin LAN2_LINKACTLED) 

This 2-pin connector is for the LAN2 Activity LED. Connect the LAN2 

Activity LED cable to this connector. This LED blinks during a network 

activity and lights up when linked.       

•  Locator LED 1 (2-pin LOCATORLED1) 

This 2-pin connector is for the Locator LED 1. Connect the Locator  

LED 1 cable to this connector. This LED lights up when the Locator but-

ton is pressed.

•  Locator LED 2 (2-pin LOCATORLED2) 

This 2-pin connector is for the Locator LED 2. Connect the Locator LED 

2 cable to this connector. 

•  Locator Button/Switch (2-pin LOCATORBTN) 

This connector is for the locator button. This button queries the state 

of the system locator.

•  Front Panel SMBus (6-1 pin) 

This connector allows you to connect SMBus (System Management Bus) 

devices to the system front panel. Devices communicate with an SMBus 

host and/or other SMBus devices using the SMBus interface.
