IBM IntelliStation E Pro Types 6216 and 6226: Hardware Maintenance Manual
Your computer uses an AGP adapter in the AGP slot on the system board. The
video connector is on the adapter and is located on the rear of your computer.
Some models come with a digital video interface (DVI) connector for connecting
a digital monitor.
Your computer has one keyboard connector.
Note: If you attach a standard (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector,
the USB ports and devices are disabled during the power-on self-test
(POST).
Your computer has one mouse connector that supports a mouse or other pointing
device. The mouse connector is on the rear of your computer.
There is one 25-pin, female D-shell parallel connector on the rear of your
computer. This connector supports three standard Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard Parallel Port
(SPP), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port (ECP).
Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the parallel connector as
bidirectional. With this configuration, data can be read from and written to a
device. In bidirectional mode, the computer supports the ECP and EPP modes.
See page 13 for instructions for configuring the parallel connector.
Your computer has two standard 9-pin D-shell serial connectors: serial connector
1 and serial connector 2.
Your computer comes with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller. This
controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps
networks and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous
transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of your computer.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the
network be Category 5 or higher. The 1 Gbps Fast Ethernet standard
requires that the cabling in the network be Category 5e or higher.
The Ethernet (RJ-45) connector has two LEDs. The Ethernet link LED is on the
left. When this LED is on, there is an active connection on the Ethernet port. The
Ethernet transmit/receive activity LED is on the right. When this LED is on, there
is activity between the computer and the network.
Important: To operate the computer within FCC Class B limits, use a category 5
Ethernet cable.
