Figure 2-12 Peripherals on the Drive Tray

Floppy disk drive support, if required, can be supplied through a floppy disk drive attached to the USB port. The BIOS also supports booting the system from any device attached to the USB port.

A keyboard and mouse can also be attached to the USB ports. In a system with multiple partitions, each partition can contain only one keyboard and mouse.

External Peripherals

A cell can also access, through the input/output system, a wide variety of peripherals that are external to the cell. Wide assortments of PCIe-based peripheral devices have been qualified for Express5800/A1160 systems. These include Fibre Channel controllers and adapters, disk subsystems (SCSI and Fibre Channel), LAN connectors, SCSI controllers, SCSI RAID controllers, SCSI tape subsystems, serial controllers, tape libraries, and other controllers.

Because the list of qualified peripherals changes frequently, contact your sales representative for current information about qualified peripherals.

Boot Options

Express5800/A1160 systems provide the following boot options:

yInternally from the SAS drives

yExternally from SAS disk drives

yExternally from Fibre Channel storage

yExternally from SCSI storage

yExternally from iSCSI storage

Express5800/A1160 systems are capable of being deployed in a preboot execution environment (PXE) provided that the external LAN connections exist at boot time. For more information about implementing this feature, see the Web site for your operating system vendor.
