48 Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 Installation and User’s Guide
Input/output connectors and devices
The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by the SBCE unit. See
the documentation that comes with your SBCE unit for information about the input/output
connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the CD/diskette/USB select button
and the keyboard/mouse/video select button. See “Understanding the control panel and LEDs” on
page 13 for information about these buttons and their function.
The Ethernet controllers on your blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernet-
compatible switch modules on the SBCE unit. Network signals to and from the blade server or any
expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface switch module through
circuitry in the SBCE unit.
