Front components overview​

Front I/O module​

The front I/O module of the server provides controls, connectors, and LEDs. The front I/O module varies by model. Depending on server models, the server supports the following front I/O modules.

Figure 1. FIO module with USB/MiniDP	Figure 2. Standard FIO module
The module supports two USB connectors, one MiniDP connector and a front operator panel.	The module supports a front operator panel.

Front operator panel​

The assembly comes with an integrated LCD diagnostics panel that can be used to quickly obtain system status, firmware levels, network information, and health information about the system. For more about the panel functions, see Front operator panel.

Hot-swap drives and drive bays​

The drive bays on the front and rear of your server are designed for hot-swap drives. The number of the installed drives in your server varies by model. When you install drives, follow the order of the drive bay numbers.

The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays occupied. Vacant drive bays must be occupied by drive fillers.

Pull-out information tab​

The Lenovo XClarity Controller network access label is attached on the pull-out information tab. The default Lenovo XClarity Controller hostname and the IPv6 Link Local Address (LLA) are provided on the tab.

For more information, see Set the network connection for the Lenovo XClarity Controller.

Rack latches​

If your server is installed in a rack, you can use the rack latches to help you slide the server out of the rack. You also can use the rack latches and screws to secure the server in the rack so that the server cannot slide out, especially in vibration-prone areas. For more information, refer to the Rack Installation Guide that comes with your rail kit.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) connectors​

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) connectors can be used to attach a USB-compatible device, such as a USB keyboard, USB mouse, or USB storage device.

Mini DisplayPort connector​

The Mini DisplayPort, short for Mini DP, connector can be used to attach a high-performance monitor and a direct-drive monitor with a video converter, or the devices that use a Mini DP connector. The maximum video resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.
