Auxiliary-device (pointing device) connector

There is one auxiliary-device connector that supports a mouse or other pointing
device located on the rear of the server just under the keyboard connector.
The following illustration shows the pin-number assignments for the auxiliary-device
connector on the end of the cable.

RXE Expansion Port

There are two RXE Expansion Ports that are used to connect your server to a remote
I/O enclosure.
The following illustration shows the pin-number assignments for the RXE Expansion
Port on the end of the cable.

SMP Expansion Port

There are up to six SMP Expansion Ports that are used to interconnect the SMP Mod-
ules in your server.
The following illustration shows the pin-number assignments for the SMP Expansion
Port on the end of the cable.

Remote Supervisor Adapter communication ports

The server has four communication ports that are used by the Remote Supervisor
Adapter. Three of the ports are located on the adapter and one is located at the lower
left corner of the rear panel (as viewed from the rear).
If you want to use the Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage the server remotely or
to connect the server to another server, connect the appropriate cables to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter ports.
To enable remote server management through a network, use the Remote Supervisor
Adapter Ethernet port (RJ-45). To enable remote server management using a
modem, use the Remote Supervisor Adapter serial port. To connect the server with
another server, use the ASM interconnect port (RJ-14). See the Remote Supervisor
Adapter documentation on the IBM Documentation CD for more information.
