Trusted Platform Module Header

This header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), available separately from a third-party vendor. A TPM is a security device that allows encryption and authentica- tion of hard drives, disallowing access if the TPM associated with it is not installed in the system. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

LAN1/2 (Ethernet Ports)

Two Gigabit Ethernet ports (designated LAN1 and LAN2) are located beside the VGA port. Additionally, there is a dedicated LAN port for IPMI on top of the two rear USB ports. These Ethernet ports accept RJ45 type cables.

A RAIDKey header, located at JIBTN1, provides RAID function support in order to use RAID 5 SAS support.
