After IOS module installation, slide the IOS Carrier back into the
enclosure via the guide rails until the front panel is flush against the
faceplate. Note that considerable force is required to push the carrier and
the mating connector together. Once the panel is flush, turn the two
captive screws clockwise until tight.
The I/O Server front panel has many of the same connections as a
standard personal computer. This includes Ethernet, audio, video, USB,
and serial ports. Access to these ports is obtained though the Operating
System. The front panel also provides user access to the IOS carrier
board which contains the IOS modules as well as the corresponding I/O
connections (ports). Information regarding these ports is contained in the
following section.
There are two RJ45 10/100 Ethernet ports available on the front of the
I/O Server. These two ports connect to an internal three port switch. The
third port of the switch connects to the processor unit. The two external
ports can be used independently of the processor. Refer to the
specifications settings for further information on the Ethernet port settings.
The two Ethernet ports are shown below.
The pin outs for the Ethernet connector from left to right are numbered
one through eight in order. The upper left yellow LED on each port
indicates connection speed. A blinking yellow LED indicates a 10Mbps
connection while a solid yellow LED indicates a 100Mbps connection. The
upper right Green LED is solid when a link is established and blinks as
data is transferred.
