3.2.8 USB 4-pin RA Connector
The USB 4-pin RA USB connector is used to load operating system images. Use a 4-pin male
connector to a male Type-A cable to connect to the board.
It is prohibited to connect male-to-male to host, it is only used for a disk on key.
The male connector to the male Type-A cable is not included in the shipped DPU Controller

3.2.9 1GbE OOB Management Interface
The DPU Controller incorporates a 1GbE RJ45 out-of-band port that allows the network operator to
establish trust boundaries in accessing the management function to apply it to network resources. It
can also be used to ensure management connectivity (including the ability to determine the status
of any network component) independent of other in-band network components' status.
For DPU Controllers with integrated BMC: 1GbE OOB Management can be performed via the
integrated BMC.
