I/O Port Specifications

This section contains specifications and port pinout information for the base I/O ports of your system, as follows:

BaseIO VGA Port Information

The 15-pin VGA port on the baseIO blade (see Figure A-1) has the following features:

  • Server-class 2D hardware acceleration support with integrated 24-bit RAMDAC

  • Display resolution up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz

  • Up to 128 Mbytes DDRII memory interface support

  • A single USB keyboard/mouse is supported by the baseIO blade connectors

The baseIO VGA interface (see Table A-5) can be used for all basic interaction with your Altix UV 100 system. Note that it does not provide a direct interconnect to the system CMC or SMN.

Serial Ports

The IRU and the optional router modules have 9-pin serial interface connectors. These ports are for console interface and 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
