3.8 Serial Ports
The Intel
®
Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT provide two serial ports: an
external DB9 serial port and an internal DH-10 serial header. The rear DB9 serial A port is a
fully-functional serial port that can support any standard serial device.
Serial B is an optional port accessible through a 9-pin internal DH-10 header. You can use a
standard DH-10 to DB9 cable to direct serial B to the rear of a chassis. The serial B interface
follows the standard RS232 pin-out as defined in the following table.

3.9 Floppy Disk Controller
The Intel
®
Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT do not support a floppy disk
controller interface. However, the system BIOS recognizes USB floppy devices.
3.10 Keyboard and Mouse Support
The Intel
®
Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT do not support PS/2* interface
keyboards and mice. However, the system BIOS recognizes USB Specification-compliant
keyboards and mice.
3.11 Video Support
The Intel
®
Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT integrated BMC include a 2D
SVGA video controller and 8 MB video memory.
The 2D SVGA subsystem supports a variety of modes, up to 1024 x 768 resolution in
8/16/24/32 bpp. It also supports both CRT and LCD monitors with up to an 85-Hz vertical
refresh rate.
Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server
boards. You can disable the onboard video controller using the BIOS Setup Utility or when an
add-in video card is detected. The system BIOS provides the option for Dual Monitor Video
operation when an add-in video card is configured in the system.
3.11.1 Video Modes
The integrated video controller supports all standard IBM* VGA modes. The following table
shows the 2D modes supported for both CRT and LCD.
