Keyboard Mouse Parallel Serial RS-485 (ASM interconnect) USB 2 USB 1 Video Ethernet External SCSI knockout 1 2 Optional external serial knockout Keyboard cabling There is one keyboard port on the back of the server. Connect a keyboard to this port. Pointing device cabling There is one pointing device port on the back of the server. Connect a pointing device to this port. Parallel port cabling There is one parallel port on the back of the server. You can connect a parallel device to this port. Serial cabling Your server has one standard serial port on the back of the server and one optional serial port (shipped with the server). You can connect a serial devices to these ports. Advanced System Management Interconnect cabling There are two Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect ports on the back of the server. Use these ports to connect the server to a Remote Supervisor Adapter in a remote server. The ports support full asynchronous RS-485 communication through a daisy-chain cable in half-duplex mode. Both ports have automatic termination, and either port can be used if your server is at the beginning or end of an RS-485 network. Notes: 1. Do not confuse the two ASM Interconnect ports that are next to the video port with the Gigabit Ethernet port. 2. If you install an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter in your server, use the RS-485 ports on the Remote Supervisor Adapter and not the integrated RS-485 ports on the back of your server. Chapter 4.
