vExternal power connector: You can connect an optional ac power adapter to this connector.

vError LED: This amber LED is lit when a system-management error has occurred.

vASM interconnect port: Connect signal cables for managing expansion-module resources to this port.

vEthernet activity LED: This green LED is lit when there is activity on the Ethernet LAN.

vEthernet link LED: This green LED is lit when the Ethernet link is active.

v10/100 Ethernet port: Connect Ethernet signal cables to this port.

vManagement port: Connect a serial cable to this port to enable system management through a modem, or connect a null modem cable to this port to enable system management through a workstation or laptop computer.

vPower LED: This green LED comes on and stays lit when you plug in your server.

Upper Ethernet status LED: This LED displays the link and activity status for the upper Gigabit Ethernet port. When the LED is lit green, the link is active. When the LED blinks green and amber, there is activity on the Ethernet LAN.

Lower Ethernet status LED: This LED displays the link and activity status for the lower Gigabit Ethernet port. When the LED is lit green, the link is active. When the LED blinks green and amber, there is activity on the Ethernet LAN.

Gigabit Ethernet port: Connect Gigabit Ethernet signal cables to this port. This port supports 10/100/1000 speed connections.

RXE Expansion Port A: Use this port to connect the server to a remote I/O enclosure, when only one SMP Expansion Module is installed.

Video port: Connect the signal cable for a monitor to this port.

Important: If your server has a Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA installed, the integrated video controller is disabled. You must connect a monitor or console switch to the video port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA.

USB 2: Use this automatically configured port to connect one or more USB devices to the server, using Plug and Play technology.

USB 1: Use this automatically configured port to connect one or more USB devices to the server, using Plug and Play technology.

RXE Management Port: Use this port to connect a management cable from the server to a remote I/O enclosure.

SCSI port: Connect external SCSI devices to this port.

SMP Expansion port 3: Use this port to interconnect two SMP Expansion Modules together in 16-way configurations.

SMP Expansion port 2: Use this port to interconnect two SMP Expansion Modules together.
