Intel S5000XSL Computer Hardware User Manual


 
Design and Environmental Specifications Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL and S5000XSL TPS
3.6.1 Serial Ports
The server board provides two serial ports: an external DB9 serial port and an internal DH10
serial header. The rear DB9 serial A port is a fully-functional serial port that can support any
standard serial device.
Serial B is an optional port that is accessed through a 9-pin internal DH-10 header. A standard
DH10 to DB9 cable can be used to direct serial B to the rear of a chassis. The serial B interface
follows the standard RS232 pin-out as defined in the following table.

3.6.2 Floppy Disk Controller
The server board does not support a floppy disk controller interface. However, the system BIOS
recognizes USB floppy devices.
3.6.3 Keyboard and Mouse Support
Dual-stacked PS/2* ports are provided on the back edge of the server board for keyboard and
mouse support. Either port can support a mouse or keyboard. Neither port supports hot
plugging.
3.6.4 Wake-up Control
The super I/O contains functionality that allows various events to power on and power off the
system.
3.6.5 System Health Support
The super I/O provides an interface via GPIOs for BIOS and system management firmware to
activate the diagnostic LEDs, the FRU fault indicator LEDs for processors, FBDIMMS, fans and
the system status LED. See section
7 for the location of the LEDs on the server board.
The super I/O provides PMW fan control to the system fans, monitors tach and presence signals
for the system fans and monitors server board and front panel temperature.
