USB is an emerging serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of device 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. USB cables and hubs: You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to 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 provides up to 12 megabits-per-second (Mbps) speed with a maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of five meters (16 ft.) per segment. USB-port connectors: Each USB port has an external connector on the rear of the server/workstation for attaching USB compatible devices. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the USB-port connectors on the rear of the server/workstation. Table 19.

This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the server/workstation. 104 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 330 Type 8674, IntelliStation R Pro Type 6851, and Network Equipment Building System Type 8674

Universal Serial Bus ports

Your server/workstation has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, which

configure automatically. USB is an emerging serial interface standard for telephony

and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of

device attached to the connector.

Notes:

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).

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.

USB cables and hubs:

You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to 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 provides up to 12 megabits-per-second (Mbps) speed with a

maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of five meters

(16 ft.) per segment.

USB-port connectors:

Each USB port has an external connector on the rear of the

server/workstation for attaching USB compatible devices.

The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the USB-port

connectors on the rear of the server/workstation.
