Access 3350 compute node rear panel

The rear panel of the compute node contains several components and default ports.

The PCIe riser assemblies that are outlined in red are numbered 1 and 2 from right to left. Slots 1 through 6 are shown in the risers.

The following list describes the numbered items.

  1. VGA port

  2. Three USB ports

  3. IPMI remote management port

  4. Four copper, RJ45, 1Gb Ethernet* ports, NIC1/eth0, NIC2/eth1, NIC3/eth2, and NIC4/eth3, left to right.

  5. Riser Assembly 1, Slot 4, contains a SAS3 HBA card that connects to the SAS3 ports on the Primary Storage Shelf.

  6. Riser Assembly 2, Slot 1, contains a SAS3 HBA card that connects to the SAS3 ports on the Primary Storage Shelf.

  7. Two 10/25Gbe Network Interface Cards (NICs). From left to right the ports are NIC5/eth4, and NIC6/eth5 on the top card, NIC7/eth6, and NIC8/eth7 on the bottom card.

The following diagram shows the location of the Ethernet ports, from 0 to 7:

Note:

* The embedded Ethernet ports are copper. PCIe Ethernet ports are fibre. You cannot bond the copper ports and the fibre ports to each other.
