Input/Output (I/O) features • One or two Video Graphics Array (VGA) DB-15 connectors • One serial connector on the rear panel • Six USB 2.0 connectors (two on the front panel and four on the rear panel) • Three RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on the rear panel (Ethernet connector 0 is for system management) For the location information about the connectors, refer to the related topics in "Locations" on page 13. Video subsystem An integrated graphics controller in the ThinkServer Management Module (TMM), which also is known as the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip, on the system board to support VGA connectors for connecting video devices Ethernet connectivity There are three RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on the rear panel with 10 megabits per second (Mbps), 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network connectivity. The Ethernet connector 0 is for system management by default. However, you also can set the Ethernet connector 1 or 2 for system management use in the Setup Utility program. See "Setting the mode of the Ethernet connectors" on page 57. For more information, see "Rear view of the server" on page 23. Reliability, availability, and serviceability Reliability, availability, and serviceability (hereinafter referred to as RAS) are three important server design features. The RAS features help you to ensure the integrity of the data stored on the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems. Your server has the following RAS features: • Security features - Administrator password and user password to help protect unauthorized access to the server (see "Using passwords" on page 55) - ThinkServer Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a security chip, to help enhance server security Note: The TPM is only available in some models. - Remote monitoring or control by an administrator to provide protection or help - Hot-swap redundant power supplies to help avoid significant interruption to the operation of the system when a power supply fails • Basic system management features - Ability to store the power-on self-test (POST) hardware test results - BIOS Setup Utility program Chapter 3.
