Description
ADMIN IN Yellow
The administrator’s C/Port connects here for access to the 1xN and Supervisor modes. The
BackPack routes this C/Port connection to various PC Blades as directed by the Switch
Manager. A single administrator can gain access to PC Blades in multiple Cages by
daisy-chaining this connection with the ADMIN OUT connector on the BackPacks of additional
Cages.
ADMIN OUT Yellow
This connection links the Administrator’s C/Port to the ADMIN IN connection of the BackPack
on the next Cage when daisy-chaining multiple BackPacks. This allows a single administrator
control or supervise PC Blades in multiple Cages.
C/PORTS Blue
These connections go out to each individual end user’s C/Port. Note that the numbers match
the Blade slot numbers on the front of the Cage.
SPARE OUT Red
This connection links the Spare PC Blade connection to the SPARE IN connection of the
BackPack on the next Cage when daisy-chaining multiple BackPacks.
