Input/Output Connectors And Devices - IBM BladeCenter HX5 Installation And User Manual

Input/output connectors and devices

The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by
the BladeCenter chassis. See the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter
chassis for information about the input/output connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media tray
select button and the keyboard/video/mouse select button. See "Blade server
controls and LEDs" on page 16 for information about these buttons and their
functions.
The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network
through the Ethernet-compatible I/O modules in the BladeCenter chassis. Network
signals to and from the blade server or any expansion cards are automatically
routed to a same-network-interface I/O module through circuitry in the
BladeCenter chassis.
