Rear Panel Components
I/O Slots
The four I/O slots located at the top left of the rear panel are PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) slots, which can be used for add-on I/O interface cards. There are two PCI-2X slots and two PCI-1X slots, which are defined as follows:
Slot 1: 64-bit PCI-2X at 5V, 33 MHz
Slot 2: 64-bit PCI-2X at 5V, 33 MHz
Slot 3: 32-bit PCI-1X at 5V, 33 MHz
Slot 4: 32-bit PCI-1X at 5V, 33 MHz
Monitor Connector
The B2000 workstation has an integrated HP VISUALIZE-fxegraphics chip on the system board. Thus, the monitor connector on the rear panel of the workstation connects the monitor to this graphics chip on the system board.
Serial Connectors
There are a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or trackball) or peripheral devices (including printers, plotters, modems, and scanners) that can be attached to the two RS-232 Serial Input/Output (SIO) ports on the rear panel of this workstation. Refer to the label on the rear of the workstation to locate serial port 1 and serial port 2. Consult the documentation that accompanies each pointing device or peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.
The SIO ports are programmable, allowing functions such as bit rate, character length, parity, and stop bits to be set. You can set these by using the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) utility, or by selecting a system special device file with the functions already programmed. The SIO ports are used as interfaces for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU.
Table 1-4 shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial connectors are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those specified in the EIA RS-232 standard.
