Connecting peripherals

The color-coded I/O port panel on the system rear accepts a variety of compatible peripherals. Refer to the figure below for specific connection instructions for each port.

Note: Consult the operating system manual for information on how to configure the network setup.

Caution: Do not route the power cord where it will be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. The server is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper operation, plug the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
