NOTES:
1. Figure 6 shows the AC configuration. Items C and D can also be configured for DC operation.
The filler panel is mandatory in non-redundant configurations.
2. Only one personality card can be installed at any time. These slots can be used for an
optional Gbit Ethernet port or an external SAS port. Dual- and four-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet
modules use both openings. A four-port external SAS module uses only one opening. If neither
option is installed, filler panels occupy these slots.
3. If the RMM3/GCM4 NIC is not used, the filler panel occupies this space
4. The GbE ports are only designed to pass intra-building lightning surge when used with shielded
cabling, which must be grounded at both ends.
2.4 Front Panel Board
The front panel (FP) board is located behind the front bezel and in front of the 80 mm
CPU fans. The FP Board provides the following feature set:
• Three USB ports used for the embedded USB solid-state drive connector, the combo
RJ45 and USB connector, and the SD flash card module
• Serial RS-232 signals
• Control circuitry for driving the NIC activity LED, the system status LED, the power
LED and the disk activity LED, all located on the LED/switch board
• Control circuitry for driving a composite fan fault LED to the LED/switch board
• On-board LED indicating USB flash drive activity
• System power state and status indicators -- power, reset, and NMI switches
• Control circuitry for driving telco alarm activity LEDs to the LED/switch board
• Telco alarms -- power, critical, major, and minor switches
2.5 LED/Switch Board
The LED/switch board provides input selection switches and LED status indicators for
the server system. The LED/switch board is connected to the FP board and receives
status and alarm signals from it. The board has the following features:
• Connects the front panel board signals to the front panel. There are four switches
and ten LEDs. The power status LED and the chassis ID LED are embedded in the switch
and the other eight are on the control panel. (See Figure 5.)
• On board switches for power, reset, ID, and NMI
• On board LEDs to indicate power status, chassis ID, system status, HDD
activity/fault, NIC activity, and fan status
• On board LEDs to indicate power, critical, major, and minor alarms
2.6 Hard Disk Drives
The CG2100 server supports up to six hot-swappable hard drive carriers accessible from
the front of the chassis with the front bezel removed. Both SAS and SATA drives are
supported.
