For server applications that require a DB9 serial connector, an 8-pin RJ45-to-DB9 adapter must be used. 
The following table provides the pin-out required for the adapter to provide RS232 support. A standard 
DH10-to-DB9 cable and 8-pin RJ45 to DB9 DCD and DSR adapters are available from Intel in the Serial 
Port Accessory Kit, product code: AXXRJ45DB92.

 The RJ45-to-DB9 adapter should match the configuration of the serial device used. One of two pin-

out configurations is used, depending on whether the serial device requires a DSR or DCD signal. The 
final adapter configuration should also match the desired pin-out of the RJ45 connector, as it can also be 
configured to support either DSR or DCD. 

The server board does not support a floppy disk controller (FDC) interface.  However, the system BIOS 
does recognize USB floppy devices. 

Dual stacked PS/2 ports, located on the back edge of the server board, are provided for keyboard and 
mouse support. Either port can support a mouse or keyboard. Neither port supports hot plugging.
