Chapter 3. I/O connectors Connect optional external devices to the connectors on the front and rear of the server. Your server has the following input/output (I/O) connectors: v Serial (1, rear) v Universal Serial Bus (USB) (2 front, 1 rear) v ISM (1, rear) v Cable Chaining Technology (C2T) (2, rear) v Ethernet (2, rear) v Keyboard (1, on C2T breakout cable) v Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) (1, on C2T breakout cable) v Video (1, on C2T breakout cable) The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the front panel. USB 1 connecter USB 2 connecter The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the rear panel. Power connector C2T IN connector C2T OUT connector Serial connector ISM connector USB 3 connector Ethernet 2 connector Ethernet 1 connector The following sections describe these connectors. If you have an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter (system-management adapter) installed in PCI-X slot 1, the adapter has an Ethernet connector, a serial connector, and an Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect connector. See the documentation that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter for more information about the ASM Interconnect network. C2T connectors Use the C2T (IN) and C2T (OUT) connectors to connect the server to other servers in an ASM interconnect network or C2T chain. See "Cabling the server" on page 28 for information about ASM interconnect networks and C2T chaining. C2T breakout cable connectors These connectors are on the C2T breakout cable, which you use to connect a monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to a server in a C2T chain. See "Cabling the server" on page 28 for information about C2T chaining. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 37

Chapter 3. I/O connectors
Connect optional external devices to the connectors on the front and rear of the
server.
Your server has the following input/output (I/O) connectors:
v
Serial (1, rear)
v
Universal Serial Bus (USB) (2 front, 1 rear)
v
ISM (1, rear)
v
Cable Chaining Technology (C2T) (2, rear)
v
Ethernet (2, rear)
v
Keyboard (1, on C2T breakout cable)
v
Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) (1, on C2T breakout cable)
v
Video (1, on C2T breakout cable)
The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the front panel.
USB 1 connecter
USB 2 connecter
The following illustration shows the locations of the connectors on the rear panel.

connector
Ethernet 1
connector
ISM
connector
The following sections describe these connectors.
If you have an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter (system-management adapter)
installed in PCI-X slot 1, the adapter has an Ethernet connector, a serial connector,
and an Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect connector. See the
documentation that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter for more information
about the ASM Interconnect network.
C2T connectors
Use the C2T (IN) and C2T (OUT) connectors to connect the server to other servers
in an ASM interconnect network or C2T chain. See “Cabling the server” on page 28
for information about ASM interconnect networks and C2T chaining.
C2T breakout cable connectors
These connectors are on the C2T breakout cable, which you use to connect a
monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to a server in a C2T chain. See “Cabling the
server” on page 28 for information about C2T chaining.
