14  USB 3.1 connectors
Connect a USB device, such as a mouse, keyboard, or other devices, to either of these connectors.
15  XClarity Controller network connector
Use this connector to manage the server, by using a dedicated management network. If you use this 
connector, the Lenovo XClarity Controller cannot be accessed directly from the production network. A 
dedicated management network provides additional security by physically separating the management 
network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup utility to configure the server to use a 
dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.
16  NMI button
Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the processor. You might have to use a pen or the end 
of a straightened paper clip to press the button. You can also use it to force a blue-screen memory dump. 
Use this button only when you are directed to do so by Lenovo Support.
17  OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter
The OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter provides two or four extra Ethernet connectors for network connections. One 
of the Ethernet connectors on the OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter can also function as a management connector 
with shared management capacity. If the shared management connector fails, traffic can automatically 
switch over to another connector on the adapter.
The system may support a 2-port or a 4-port OCP module for network connections. Port numbering are 
shown in the illustrations below.
