5. Type the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only and does not need to match the name on the switch. 6. Click Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab. 7. Click Close and restart the server. Ethernet connector There is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the server. See "I/O connector locations" on page 64 for the location of this connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the Ethernet connector. 8 1 Table 11. Ethernet RJ-45 connector pin-number assignments. Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 + Transmit data 5 Not connected 2 - Transmit data 6 - Receive data 3 + Receive data 7 Not connected 4 Not connected 8 Not connected Universal Serial Bus connectors The server has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors, which are configured automatically. USB is a serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of device that is attached to the connector. Notes: 1. If you attach a standard (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, the USB connectors and devices will be disabled during the power-on self-test. 2. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse connector, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse, and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. 3. Some operating systems do not support USB devices. Refer to your operating-system documentation to determine whether your operating system supports USB devices. USB cables and hubs You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to a USB 1 or USB 2. If you plan to attach more than two USB devices, you must use a hub to connect the devices. The hub provides multiple connectors for attaching additional external USB devices. USB technology transfers data at up to 12 MBps with a maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of five meters (16 ft) per segment. USB connectors There are two USB connectors located on the rear of the server for attaching USB-compatible devices.

Universal
Serial
Bus
connectors
The
server
has
two
Universal
Serial
Bus
(USB)
connectors,
which
are
configured
automatically.
USB
is
a
serial
interface
standard
for
telephony
and
multimedia
devices.
It
uses
Plug
and
Play
technology
to
determine
the
type
of
device
that
is
attached
to
the
connector.
Notes:
1.
If
you
attach
a
standard
(non-USB)
keyboard
to
the
keyboard
connector,
the
USB
connectors
and
devices
will
be
disabled
during
the
power-on
self-test.
2.
If
you
install
a
USB
keyboard
that
has
a
mouse
connector,
the
USB
keyboard
emulates
a
mouse,
and
you
will
not
be
able
to
disable
the
mouse
settings
in
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
3.
Some
operating
systems
do
not
support
USB
devices.
Refer
to
your
operating-system
documentation
to
determine
whether
your
operating
system
supports
USB
devices.
USB
cables
and
hubs
You
need
a
4-pin
cable
to
connect
devices
to
a
USB
1
or
USB
2.
If
you
plan
to
attach
more
than
two
USB
devices,
you
must
use
a
hub
to
connect
the
devices.
The
hub
provides
multiple
connectors
for
attaching
additional
external
USB
devices.
USB
technology
transfers
data
at
up
to
12
MBps
with
a
maximum
of
127
external
devices
and
a
maximum
signal
distance
of
five
meters
(16
ft)
per
segment.
USB
connectors
There
are
two
USB
connectors
located
on
the
rear
of
the
server
for
attaching
USB-compatible
devices.

connector
locations”
