3.4.10.2.4 Rear RJ45 Serial B Port Configuration
The rear RJ45 Serial B port is a fully functional serial port that can support any standard serial
device. Using an RJ45 connector for a serial port gives direct support for serial port
concentrators, which are widely used in the high-density server market. For server applications
that use a serial concentrator to access the server management features of the baseboard, a
standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the rear RJ45
serial port.
To support either of two serial port configuration standards which require either a DCD or DSR
signal, a jumper block (J7A1), located near the back IO ports, is used to configure the RJ45
serial port to the desired standard. The following diagram shows the jumper block location and
its jumper settings.
