2.4 Rear Panel Ethernet Ports
The TIGH2U Server has two GbE NIC ports that are mounted on the server board and accessible from
the rear of the chassis. Additional rear-accessible GbE NIC ports can be added by using full-height
PCI-X/PCIe add-in cards or low-profile PCIe add-in cards.
A dual GbE I/O option module is available. This module adds two RJ45, 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports
accessible on the rear panel. The GbE NIC ports are intended to be installed with shielded cabling that
is grounded at both ends of the cable.
The possible configurations of full-height PCI-X/PCIe add-in cards are in Table 2 on page 21 and the
possible configurations of low-profile PCIe add-in cards are in Table 3 on page 21 .
Warning: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
2.5 SAS Front Panel (SFP) Board
The SAS Front Panel (SFP) board adds SAS support and provides support for hardware RAID 0, 1, 10,
and 5, and software RAID 0, 1, and 10. This board is located on the floor of the chassis between the
front panel and the two 80 mm fans.
2.5.1 SFP Board Features
The TIGH2U Server SFP board has the following features:
• One RS-232 front panel port
• One USB2.0 front panel port
• One USB2.0 interface to local memory storage
• One flex cable connection to the SAS backplane to support the interface to six independent 2.5-
inch SAS hard drives
• One socket for a DDR2 mini-DIMM that provides data caching for hardware RAID
• One connector for the Intel
® RAID Smart Battery that allows the contents of the DDR2 mini-DIMM
to be preserved if power falls below specifications.
• Four fan connectors to provide power, control, and monitoring for the four cooling fans
• Four fan fault LEDs (for diagnostics purposes only, not visible on front panel)
2.6 Telco Alarms Manager Board
The Telco Alarms Manager (TAM) board adds LEDs and power functions to the front of the server
chassis. It also uses a cable to provide an alarms function with fault relays to the back of the chassis.
This board is located over the top of the SFP board between the front panel and the two 80 mm fans.
