Input/output connectors and devices The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by the BladeCenter unit. See the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit for information about the input/output connectors. The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media tray select button and the keyboard/video/mouse select button. See "Understanding the control panel and LEDs" on page 14 for information about these buttons and their functions. The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernet-compatible I/O modules on the BladeCenter unit. Network signals to and from the blade server or any expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface I/O module through circuitry in the BladeCenter unit. 42 BladeCenter LS21 Type 7971 and LS41 Type 7972: Installation and User's Guide
