Figure 44. Front I/O Panel Features
A – Video connector – The front I/O Panel video connector gives the option of attaching a monitor to the front
of the system. When BIOS detects that a monitor is attached to the front video connector, it disables the video
signals routed to the on-board video connector on the back of the system. Video resolutions from the front
video connector may be lower than that of the rear on-board video connector. A short video cable should be
used for best resolution. The front video connector is cabled to a 2x7 header on the server board labeled “FP
Video”.
B – USB Ports – The front I/O panel includes two USB 2.0 ports. The USB ports are cabled to a 2x5 connector
on the server board labeled “FP USB”.
8.2 Control Panel Features
The system includes a control panel that provides push button system controls and LED indicators for several
system features. Depending on the hard drive configuration, the front control panel may come in either of two
formats; however, both provide the same functionality. This section will provide a description for each front
control panel feature.
