Auxiliary-Device (Pointing-Device) Connector; Ethernet (Rj-45) Connector; Keyboard Connector; Parallel Connector - IBM eServer xSeries 226 Type 8648 Option Installation Manual

Auxiliary-device (pointing-device) connector

Use this connector to connect a mouse or other pointing device. The following
illustration shows an auxiliary-device connector.

Ethernet (RJ-45) connector

The following illustration shows an Ethernet connector.
Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to this connector.
The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require Category 5 or
higher cabling.
For more information about the Ethernet controller, see the User's Guide.

Keyboard connector

Use this connector to connect a PS/2 (non-USB) keyboard to the server. The
following illustration shows a keyboard connector.
If you attach a keyboard to this connector, USB ports and devices are disabled
during the power-on self-test (POST).

Parallel connector

Use this connector to connect a parallel device. The following illustration shows a
parallel connector.
The parallel connector supports three standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard Parallel Port (SPP),
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port (ECP). If you configure
the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, it supports the ECP and EPP
modes of operation. To configure the parallel port, use the Devices and I/O Ports
option in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the User's Guide for more
information. If you configure the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, use
an IEEE 1284-compliant cable that does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft).
