Ethernet Ports
Two Intel® 82563EB network controllers are integrated into each of the server-
boards to support a total of four Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX,
RJ45 output).
Onboard Controllers/Ports
Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, a VGA port, two USB ports, two
Gigabit LAN (NIC) ports and (on the NovaScale R422-INF-E2 only) an InniBand®
(MT25204 controller) 20 Gbps port. There are two sets of I/O ports included in the
server (one set for each severboard).
InniBand Port Bracket: The InniBand port bracket is a small "U" shaped bracket
that secures the connector to the I/O port shield. This allows the I/O shield, not
the serverboard, to support the cable's weight. The bracket can be found on the
connector itself.
When installing the serverboard, remove the bracket from the InniBand port. Slide
the port through the shield, and then replace the bracket to secure the port to the
I/O shield.
ATI Graphics Controller
The NovaScale R422-E2/R422-INF-E2 serverboard features an integrated ATI
video controller based on the ES1000 graphics chip. The ES1000 was designed
specically for servers, featuring low power consumption, high reliability and su-
perior longevity.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, a
chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU
overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.
