USB 3 (5 Gbps) connectors
The USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors are direct connect interfaces (DCIs) for debugging, which can be
used to attach a USB-compatible device, such as a USB keyboard, USB mouse, or USB storage device.
VGA connector
The VGA connectors on the front and rear of the server can be used to attach a high-performance monitor, a
direct-drive monitor, or other devices that use a VGA connector.
XCC system management port
The server has a 1 GB RJ-45 connector dedicated to Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) functions. Through
the system management port, you can access the Lenovo XClarity Controller directly by connecting your
laptop to the management port using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that you modify the IP settings on the
laptop so that it is on the same network as the server default settings. A dedicated management network
provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production
network.
