Chapter 2: Technical Specifications and Installation Chapter 2 Technical Specifications and Hardware Installation 2.1 Configuring the AOC-SIMSO/SIMSO+ and the AOC- USB2RJ45 Add-On Cards The AOC-SIMSO/SIMSO+ Add-On Card is connected to a Dedicated LAN Ethernet port located on the AOC-USB2RJ45 Add-On Card via an SMC Proprietary cable (CBL-0165L) for External LAN access. One end of the CBL-0165L cable is con nected to the mini USB connector (J1) located on the AOC-SIMSO(+) card and the other end to that of the AOC-USB2RJ45 card. There are two LEDs located on the LAN port to indicate network links and activities. Refer to the picture below for the configuration. Note 1:
You can also use LAN1 on the motherboard if you do not need the dedicated LAN support. However, dedicated LAN is recommended for better graphic support when the KVM feature is used. Note 2: For dedicated LAN to work properly, Cable CBL-177L is required for a moth erboard with a SIMSO IPMI module that is located far from the back plate of the chassis. Refer to the motherboard specifications on our web site. (The CBL-177L cable is to be purchased separately from Supermicro.) Note 3: The SKT-0240L kit contains full-size and low profile I/O backplates, a USB 2RJ45 add-on card, and a CBL-0165L cable The SKT-0240L Kit is included in the SIMSO+ shipping package only.
