Input/output connectors and devices
The input/output connectors that are available to the blade workstation for external
devices are supplied by the BladeCenter unit. See the documentation that comes
with the BladeCenter unit for information about the input/output connectors.
The blade workstation has two selection buttons on the control panel: the
media-tray select button and the keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) select button. See
"The control panel buttons and LEDs" on page 12 for information about these
buttons and their functions.
The Ethernet controller in the blade workstation communicates with the network
through an Ethernet-compatible I/O module (the default is I/O module 1) on the
BladeCenter unit. Network signals to and from the blade workstation are
automatically routed to the I/O module through circuitry in the blade workstation and
the BladeCenter unit.
The compression card in the blade workstation, which provides the user interface to
the thin client, communicates with the remote thin client through an
Ethernet-compatible I/O module in I/O bay 2 of the BladeCenter unit.
