Component Specifications - Rorke Data Galaxy Aurora Series Configuration And System Integration Manual

G A L A X Y ® A U R O U R A
Facing the rear, the two power supply modules are located on the left. To the
right of each power connector, is an LED which is on if the power supply
module is operating and receiving power. If either of these LEDs goes out, it
could mean that the power cable isn't operating properly, the module isn't
seated all the way, or there is a problem with the power supply, the module
itself, or the AC outlet. The Galaxy Aurora has load-balancing, redundant
power supplies, which means that if either module stops working, the unit will
continue to work (albeit with a loud beeper running). To remove a power
supply module, you have to remove the power cord first, then rotate out the
metal handle from the left. Push down on the red lever, while pulling the
module out. To reinsert the module, just push it in until it clicks, then fold the
handle to the left.
The two round connectors on the left are for a PS/2 keyboard or a mouse. The
green connector is for a mouse, and the purple connector is for a keyboard. To
the right of these two connectors are USB connectors. These can be used for
USB drive(s), memory key(s), hub(s), and/or a USB keyboard or mouse. To
the right of the USB connectors is a green serial connector. It is not used. To
the right of the serial connector is an analog VGA connector. You may attach a
console monitor here. To the right of the VGA connector are two gigabit
Ethernet ports. The left port (if you are facing the rear) is port 1, the right port
is port 2.
The vertical slits on the right (called slots) hold the host adapters which are
inside the system. Going from left to right, we see an empty slot, then one of
the SAS host adapters [used for the RAID drives], with two LEDs on it. One
LED blinks continuously indicating the processor on the adapter is functioning.
The other blinks during activity. To the right of this adapter is either a Fibre
Channel or Infiniband Host Bus Adapter depending on the configuration you
selected. To the right of the Host Bus Adapter is an empty slot, followed by
another SAS host adapter. To the right of these is the Ethernet port for the
IPMI card.
