This section contains specifications and port pinout information for the base I/O ports of your system, as follows:
The system auto-selects the Ethernet port speed and type (duplex vs. half-duplex) when the system is booted, based on the device to which it is connected. Figure A-1 shows the Ethernet port.
Table A-5 shows the cable pinout assignments for the Ethernet port operating in both 10/100-Base-T mode and 1000Base-T mode.
Table A-5. Ethernet Connector Pin Assignments
Pin | Assignment (10/100BaseT ) | Pin | Assignment (1000BaseT) |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Transmit + | 1 | Transmit/Receive 0+ |
2 | Transmit – | 2 | Transmit/Receive 0– |
3 | Receive + | 3 | Transmit/Receive 1+ |

Figure A-2 shows and Table A-6 lists the pin assignments for the standard DB-9 serial connector. These ports are found on the IX-brick (via the base I/O PCI card), the router brick, the XG2N and CPU expansion modules, and the console and modem ports of the optional L2 controller. These ports are capable of transferring data at rates as high as 230 kbps. Other features of the ports include the following:
Programmable data, parity, and stop bits
Programmable baud rate and modem control
Caution: Although the image sync subsystem also uses DB-9 connectors, these connectors, whether on the ImageSync card or on the XG2N bricks, are not serial ports. Connecting a serial device to these connectors may cause damage to both the ImageSync devices and the serial devices.
Table A-6 shows pinout assignments for the 9-pin male DB-9 connector.
Pin | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
1 | DCD | Data carrier detect (not used) |
2 | RXD or RD | Receive data |
3 | TXD or TD | Transmit data |
4 | DTR | Data Terminal Ready (not used) |
5 | GND | Ground |
6 | DSR | Data set ready (not used) |
7 | RTS | Request to send |
8 | CTS | Clear to send |
9 | RI | Ringing indicator (not used) |
The XG2N module contains two graphics pipes, each capable of supporting two display devices. The graphics connector and pinouts are shown in Figure A-3 and Table A-7.
The console and L1 connectors on the XG2N module are the same as the compute module.
