Table 1. Cabled PSU back panel features This table describes about Cabled PSU back panel features. Item 1 is the serial connector, that enables you to connect a serial device to the system. Item 2 is ethernet connector 1 that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC connectors. Item 3 is the SD vFlash card slot that enables you to insert a vFlash media card. Item 4 is the iDRAC8 Enterprise port. It is a dedicated management port. The port is available for use only if the iDRAC8 Enterprise license is installed on your system. Item 5 is the PCIe expansion card slot, that enables you to connect two low profile PCIe expansion cards. Item 6 is the video connector, that enables you to connect a VGA display to the system. Item 7 is ethernet connector 2 that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC connectors. Item 8 is a USB 2.0 compliant port, that enables you to connect USB devices to the system. Item 9is a USB 3.0 compliant port, that enables you to connect USB devices to the system. Item 10 is the system identification button on the front and back panels, that can be used to locate a particular system within a rack. When one of these buttons is pressed, the LCD panel on the front and the system status indicator on the back flashes until one of the buttons is pressed again. Press to toggle the system ID on and off. If the system stops responding during POST, press and hold the system ID button for more than five seconds to enter BIOS progress mode.
