Management PCI Adapter to a network hub for remote communication. Note The Advanced System Management PCI Adapter 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connector cannot be accessed from the network operating system. The connector is dedicated to connecting the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter to an Ethernet network through a service-processor interface, such as Netfinity Manager. 5 Serial port B connector: Serial signal cables for modems and other serial devices connect here to the 9-pin serial port B connector. See "Devices and I/O ports" on page 23 for port assignment information. If you are using a 25-pin signal cable, you need a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter cable. 6 Advanced System Management PCI Adapter dual serial port connector: This connector can be used to attach to a Y-cable that is shipped with the server. This Y-cable can be used to attach to a modem that is dedicated to communication with the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter. 7 Advanced System Management Interconnect port connector: This connector is used to attach other compatible service processors for remote access. 8 Advanced System Management external power connector: This connector is not used. 9 Parallel port connector: A signal cable for a parallel device, such as a printer connects here. 1 Video port connector: The monitor signal cable connects here. 11 Universal Serial Bus connectors: You can attach I/O devices to these two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors. You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to USB 1 or 2. A hot-plug keyboard-and-mouse option can be cabled or uncabled from the USB connectors without error or loss of service. Review the operating-system documentation to determine whether the operating system supports USB devices. Note If a standard (non-USB) keyboard is attached to the keyboard port, the USB ports are disabled while the power-on self-test (POST) is running, and no USB devices will work during POST.
