Note: The RJ45-to-DB9 adapter should match the configuration of the serial device used. One
of two pin-out configurations is used, depending on whether the serial device requires a DSR or
DCD signal. The final adapter configuration should also match the desired pin-out of the RJ45
connector, as it can also be configured to support either DSR or DCD.
3.5.1.2
Floppy Disk Controller
The server board does not support a floppy disk controller (FDC) interface, but the system BIOS
recognizes USB floppy devices.
