Technical Specifications and Hardware
2.1 Configuring the AOC-SIMSO/SIMSO+ and the AOC-
USB2RJ45 Add-On Cards
The AOC-SIMSO/SIMSO+ Add-On Card is connected to a Dedicated LAN Ethernet
port located on the AOC-USB2RJ45 Add-On Card via an SMC Proprietary cable
(CBL-0165L) for External LAN access. One end of the CBL-0165L cable is con-
nected to the mini USB connector (J1) located on the AOC-SIMSO(+) card and the
other end to that of the AOC-USB2RJ45 card. There are two LEDs located on the
LAN port to indicate network links and activities. Refer to the picture below for the
configuration.
Note 1: You can also use LAN1 on the motherboard if you do not need the dedicated
LAN support. However, dedicated LAN is recommended for better graphic support
when the KVM feature is used.
Note 2: For dedicated LAN to work properly, Cable CBL-177L is required for a moth-
erboard with a SIMSO IPMI module that is located far from the back plate of the
chassis. Refer to the motherboard specifications on our web site. (The CBL-177L
cable is to be purchased separately from Supermicro.)
Note 3:The SKT-0240L kit contains full-size and low profile I/O backplates, a USB
2RJ45 add-on card, and a CBL-0165L cable The SKT-0240L Kit is included in the
SIMSO+ shipping package only.
