2 VGA connector​

Connect a monitor to this connector.

Note
The maximum video resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors​

There are two USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors on the rear of the server. Connect a USB device, such as a mouse, keyboard, or other devices, to either of these connectors.

4 XCC system management port (10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45)​

The server has a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 connector dedicated to Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) functions. Through the system management port, you can access the Lenovo XClarity Controller 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. A dedicated management network provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production network.

Table 3. System LEDs on the rear view
LEDDescription and actions
1 Location LED (blue)This LED is used as a presence detection LED. You can use Lenovo XClarity Controller to light this LED remotely. Use this LED to locate the server among other servers visually.
2 System error LED (yellow)LED on: an error has occurred. Complete the following steps:

  1. Check the identification LED and check log LED and follow the instructions.

  2. Check the Lenovo XClarity Controller event log and the system error log for information about the error.

  3. Save the log if necessary, and clear the log afterwards.

3 RoT error LED (Amber)The RoT error LED helps you identify the RoT status.
