Features
Ports
The standard configuration of Xserve RAID includes the following ports on the back panel:
two 2-gigabit fibre channel ports (HSSDC2 in the original Xserve RAID and SFP in
Xserve RAID (SFP)) , two gigabit Ethernet ports, and two ports for uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) management.
System administrators or service providers can connect a laptop computer or terminal to
the Ethernet ports and then use command-line tools to change settings on the server.
Note: For a diagram of the ports location, see “Back Panel” in the Views chapter.
