Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

Notes:
  1. Type-Model-Feature ordering system now used in the US and Canada.
  2. All switches are RoHS compliant.
  3. ARI port is an RJ45 connector used to connect servers with appropriate
    console cables (Option P/Ns 31R3130, 31R3132); ACT port is an advanced ARI
    RJ45 port supporting chaining of servers and virtual media using Cat5 cables
    and appropriate conversion cables (Option P/Ns 39M2894, 39M2895, 39M2897).
  4. ACI port is an RJ45 connector used for direct connection of
    this switch up to one of the parent switch's ARI or ACT ports using
    Cat5 cable.
  5. ARI/ACT Combo ports allow use of either console cables (Option
    P/Ns 31R3130, 31R3132) or ACT conversion cables (Option P/Ns
    39M2895, 39M2897). The Virtual Media conversion cable
    (Option P/N 39M2894) is not supported.

    C2T-capable servers.
  3. C2T Cable Kit (P/N 06P4792) includes a long C2T chaining
    cable for use when interconnected servers are farther than
    three EIA units apart.
  4. PS2 KVM connectors: keyboard 6-pin DIN, mouse 6-pin DIN,
    video HD-15 VGA.
  5. C2T Interconnect ports use special connectors.
  6. ACT conversion options convert from PS2 KVM, USB plus VGA,
    or C2T interconnect to Cat5 RJ45 connectors.
