Design and Environmental Specifications

Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL and S5000XSL TPS

3.6.1Serial Ports

The server board provides two serial ports: an external DB9 serial port and an internal DH10 serial header. The rear DB9 serial A port is a fully-functional serial port that can support any standard serial device.

Serial B is an optional port that is accessed through a 9-pin internal DH-10 header. A standard DH10 to DB9 cable can be used to direct serial B to the rear of a chassis. The serial B interface follows the standard RS232 pin-out as defined in the following table.

3.6.2Floppy Disk Controller

The server board does not support a floppy disk controller interface. However, the system BIOS recognizes USB floppy devices.

3.6.3Keyboard and Mouse Support

Dual-stacked PS/2* ports are provided on the back edge of the server board for keyboard and mouse support. Either port can support a mouse or keyboard. Neither port supports hot plugging.

3.6.4Wake-up Control

The super I/O contains functionality that allows various events to power on and power off the system.

3.6.5System Health Support

The super I/O provides an interface via GPIOs for BIOS and system management firmware to activate the diagnostic LEDs, the FRU fault indicator LEDs for processors, FBDIMMS, fans and the system status LED. See section 7 for the location of the LEDs on the server board.

The super I/O provides PMW fan control to the system fans, monitors tach and presence signals for the system fans and monitors server board and front panel temperature.
