The I/O bulkhead tray is hinged at the bottom and folds out and down for
servicing the card cages and backplanes.
The I/O tray and panel have 30 panel units designed to accommodate a
variety of I/O connectors.
The Ethernet and console terminal connectors are at the bottom of the
I/O panel. The Ethernet port is a 15-pin receptacle located on the bottom
right, and the console terminal port is the 25-pin receptacle on the left.
These connectors are labeled with international symbols, as shown in
Figure 1–8.
