3 NMI button​

Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the processor. You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button. You can also use it to force a blue-screen memory dump. Use this button only when you are directed to do so by Lenovo Support.

4 VGA connector​

Connect a monitor to this connector.

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

5 Power supply units​

Install power supply units to these bays, connect them to power cords. Make sure the power cords are connected properly. Following are the power supplies supported by this system:

  • 2600-watt Titanium, input power 200-240 Vac

For more information on the power supply LEDs, see Power supply LEDs.

6 Rear fans​

Install rear fans in this space. See Install a hot-swap fan (front and rear) for more information.

7 OCP 3.0 module​

The system may support a 2-port or a 4-port OCP module for network connections. Port numbering are shown in the illustrations below.

8 XCC system management port (10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45) (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.

See the following for more information:

9 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors​

There are three 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.
