IBM Eserver Documentation CD.
Serial connector
Use a serial connector to connect a serial device. The following illustration shows a

Universal Serial Bus connectors
Use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector to connect a USB device. USB
technology transfers data at up to 12 Mb per second (Mbps) with a maximum of
127 devices and a maximum signal distance of 5 meters (16 ft) per segment. Using
Plug and Play technology, USB devices are configured automatically. The following
illustration shows a USB connector.
Use a 4-pin cable to connect a device to a USB connector. If you need to connect
more USB devices than the server has USB connectors for, use a USB hub to
connect additional devices.
