1 Left pullout tab

You can use the left pullout tab to affix information specific to your server.

2 Management port

Through the management port, you can access the XCC directly by connecting your laptop to the management port using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that you modify the IP settings on the laptop so that it is on the same network as the server default settings.

Important

Access to the XCC on the Product_name, either locally or remotely, is supported only through the management port.

3 I/O expansion cage

The I/O expansion cage contains:

• Two PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, half-length slots

• One PCIe 3.0 x4 full-height, half-length slot

4 Operator panel

For information about the operator panel, see Operator panel.

5 PCIe expansion cage 2

Two types of PCIe expansion cage are available:

• 3-socket PCIe expansion cage, which contains:

  • Three PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, full-length slots

    Note

    Only the top and bottom slots are available for use. The middle slot has no PCIe connectivity.

• 4-socket PCIe expansion cage, which contains:

  • Four PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, half-length slots.

    Note

    Only single-width, full-height, half-length GPUs are support in the 4-socket PCIe expansion cage.

Important

The same type of PCIe expansion cage must be used for PCIe expansion cage 2 and PCIe expansion cage 1.

See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the ordering of the PCIe slots in PCIe expansion cage 2.

6 PCIe expansion cage 1

Two types of PCIe expansion cage are available:

• 3-socket PCIe expansion cage, which contains:

  • Three PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, full-length slots

    Note

    Only the top and bottom slots are available for use. The middle slot has no PCIe connectivity.

  • 7 USB 3.0 port

  • 8 USB 2.0 port

  • 9 Video port

• 4-socket PCIe expansion cage, which contains:

  • Four PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, half-length slots.

    Note

    Only single-width, full-height, half-length GPUs are supported in the 4-socket PCIe expansion cage.

  • 7 USB 3.0 port

  • 8 USB 2.0 port

  • 9 Video port

Important

The same type of PCIe expansion cage must be used for PCIe expansion cage 2 and PCIe expansion cage 1.

See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the ordering of the PCIe slots in PCIe expansion cage 2.

10 Right pullout tab

The XCC network label is affixed to the right side of the right pullout tab.
