Ethernet connector The following illustration shows the dual Ethernet connector. Ethernet 1 port activity LED Ethernet 2 port activity LED 8 1 1 8 Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to this connector. The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require Category 5 or higher cabling. For more information about the Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 17. Integrated system management connector Use this connector to connect an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter. See "Cabling the server" on page 59 for information about using a Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage servers on an ASM interconnect network. The following illustration shows an integrated system management connector. 8 1 Serial connector Use a serial connector to connect a serial device. The following illustration shows a serial connector. 1 5 6 9 Universal Serial Bus connectors Use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector to connect a USB device. USB technology transfers data at up to 12 Mb per second (Mbps) with a maximum of 127 devices and a maximum signal distance of 5 meters (16 ft) per segment. Using Plug and Play technology, USB devices are configured automatically. The following illustration shows a USB connector. 12 34 Chapter 4. Customer replaceable units 67
