The Intel® Server Board SCB2 implements a serial port using an RJ-45 connector rather than the more traditional DB-9 connector. This is a result of the purpose-built design of the Intel Server Board SCB2 as a high density rack-mount product. The RJ-45 serial connector found in the I/O area of the board is designed to work with a serial concentrator or modem device. There are jumper settings immediately adjacent to the RJ-45 serial connector on the board. By default, the jumpers are set to work with a Cisco* standard serial concentrator using the DSR signal. In order to configure the port to use a modem or other standard serial device, the jumpers need to be set for DCD communication.
Refer to the Intel Server Board SCB2 Product Guide for details.
If the Intel Server Board SCB2 is integrated with either the Intel® Server Chassis SR1200 or SR2200, a front RJ-45 serial connector is also available. This connector is set up to support PC to PC communication only. The purpose for this connector is for quick access to the server management capabilities of the Intel Server Board SCB2 system using a ?crash cart? or similar PC running the server management software. This port, if used, will disable the rear serial port until the cable has been removed. For customers needing a converter from RJ-45 to DB-9, an accessory kit including adapters for DCD, DSR and PC to PC communication, the order code for this kit is AXXRJ45DB9.
