Front Control Panel and I/O Panel Overview

All system configurations will include a Control Panel on the front of the system providing push button system
controls and LED indicators for several system features. Systems configured with four 3.5" hard drive bays will
also include an I/O Panel providing additional system I/O features. This section describes the features and
functions of both front panel options.
7.1

I/O Panel Features

A – Video connector – The front I/O Panel video connector gives the option of attaching a monitor to the front
of the system. When BIOS detects that a monitor is attached to the front video connector, it disables the video
signals routed to the on-board video connector on the back of the system. Video resolutions from the front
video connector may be lower than that of the rear on-board video connector. A short video cable should be
used for best resolution. The front video connector is cabled to a 2x7 header on the server board labeled "FP
Video".
B – USB Ports – The front I/O panel includes two USB ports. The USB ports are cabled to a 2x5 connector on
the server board labeled "FP USB".
Note – On systems that support 8x2.5" hard drives, the I/O Panel can be replaced with a SATA optical drive.

Control Panel Features

The system includes a control panel that provides push button system controls and LED indicators for several
system features. Depending on the hard drive configuration, the front control panel may come in either of two
formats; however, both provide the same functionality. This section will provide a description for each front
control panel feature.
