Figure 43. 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 ports. The USB ports are cabled to a
2x5 connector on the server board labeled “USB_4-5” or “USB_6-7”.
Note: On systems that support 8x2.5” hard drives, the I/O Panel can be replaced with a SATA
optical drive.
