13-5
FACE PLATE
The rear face plate includes openings for six 9-pin micro-D connectors and one RJ45 con-
nector for serial I/O (see
Fig.13-1). There are also two reset switches: a board reset and an
IPMI reset.
CONNECTORS
There are several connectors on the KAT-Z3DB (see Fig. 13-2). Descriptions and pin assign-
ments are listed below.
Console Serial Ports
There are multiple asynchronous console serial ports on the face plate. P1 is for the host
serial port, P2 is for the fat pipe serial port, and P4-P7 are for AMC sites 1-4. These ports
operate at EIA-232 signal levels, but do not provide any handshaking functionality. The con-
nectors for the console ports are micro-DB9 connectors, with the following pin assign-
ments.
