The Manager Appliance back panel contains ports and connectors for configuration.
Item | Port | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | VGA port (1) | Standard video output port | For connecting a local monitor for initial setup and troubleshooting. |
2 | USB 3.0 ports (2) | USB Type-A ports | For connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, or external storage. |
3 | COM port (1) | Serial port (DB9) | Used for serial communication (null modem db9_f to db9_f type cable, 115200 8 N 1), often used for console access (RS-232). |
4 | Management ports | NIC 1 and NIC 2 connectors | Dedicated management ports. |
5 | IPMI LAN (1) | RJ45 Ethernet port (1 GbE) | A separate port dedicated to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), used for out-of-band management (remote monitoring, power control, KVM-over-LAN). |
6 | AIOM/OCP 3.0 Slots (2) | Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 slots | These slots are used for Advanced I/O Modules (AIOM), which provide the server's main network connectivity (e.g., 10G/25G/100G Ethernet, InfiniBand). The specific LAN ports here depend on the installed AIOM card. |
7 | PCIe Expansion Slots (2) | Full-Height, Half-Length (FHHL) slots | These are typically covered slots for installing optional PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion cards, such as high-speed network cards, HBAs, or GPUs. |
The redundant power supplies feature two hot-swap 1200W Titanium Level power supply modules (one on the left, one on the right) for reliable, redundant operation.
