Serial-port connectors The following illustration shows the 9-pin, male D-shell serial-port connector on the rear of your server. This connector conforms to the industry standard. 1 5 6 9 Universal Serial Bus version 1.1 ports Your server has one Universal Serial Bus (USB) version 1.1 connector on the front of the server and two USB version 1.1 connectors on the rear of the server. 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 ports and devices will be disabled during the power-on self-test (POST). 2. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse port, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse, and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. 3. Check to make sure that your NOS supports USB devices. 4. For additional information about USB version 1.1 devices, go to http://www.usb.org/. USB cables and hubs You need a 4-pin cable to connect USB devices. If you plan to attach more than three USB devices, you must use a hub to connect the devices. The hub provides multiple connectors for attaching additional external USB devices. USB technology provides up to 12 Mb-per-second (Mbps) speed with a maximum of 127 devices and a maximum cable length of five meters (16 ft). USB-port connectors Each USB port has an external connector on the front and rear of the server for attaching USB compatible devices. The following illustration shows the USB-port connectors on the front and rear of your server. These connectors conform to the USB version 1.1 standard. 1 4 Gigabit Ethernet port Your server comes with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
