VGA Connections
There are two VGA connections in your system. The rear VGA connection is located on the
BMCLAN/USB/VGA slot (JIO1) on the rear side of the motherboard. The front VGA header is
located on the Front Panel Control Module (JFP2). These VGA connections provide analog
interface support between the computer and the video displays. Refer to the motherboard
layout in Chapter 1 for the locations of VGA connections.
4.3 Input/Output Ports
BMC_LAN/USB/VGA/COM Slot (JIO1)
The low-prole slimSAS I/O connector, located at JIO1, is used to connect an I/O mezzanine
board to the motherboard. This connector provides dedicated BMC LAN, VGA, and COM
port header connections for rear side access. Refer to the motherboard layout in Chapter
1 for the location of JIO1. Also refer to the LED Indicator section for LAN LED information.
Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) for Rear I/O Support (JAIOM1)
A Supermicro proprietary Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) connector used for a PCIe 5.0
x16 add-on module is located at JAIOM1. This AIOM connector (P1_PE0 15-0), supported
by CPU1, provides input/output connections on the rear side of your system. Refer to the
motherboard layout in Chapter 1 for the location of JAIOM1.
AIOM Sideband Connector (JAIOM2SB1)
An Supermicro proprietary Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) sideband connector is located at
JAIOM1 on the motherboard. This AIOM slot provides support for AIOM sideband connections.
Refer to the motherboard layout in Chapter 1 for the location of JAIOM2SB1.
