C2T ports on the model 8654

There are two Cable Chain Technology (C2T) connectors on the rear of your model

8654 appliance server labeled "IN" and "OUT." These connectors operate with the

C2T ports to create a communications chain between appliance servers and a

console (monitor, mouse, and keyboard). To share the same monitor, keyboard, and

pointing device with several appliance servers, you must connect the appliance

servers together with C2T interconnect cables through the C2T (In) and C2T (Out)

connectors.

Note: The highest video mode supported in the C2T chain is 1024 x 768.

A keyboard, monitor, and mouse or pointing device are connected to your model 8654

appliance server through the C2T breakout cable. The keyboard and mouse cables

have icons of a keyboard and a mouse on their respective cable connectors for easy
