2.4 Front Panel Board
The front panel (FP) board is located behind the front bezel and in front of the fans. The FP board
provides the following feature set:
•Two USB ports: one to drive the USB ports on the front panel USB connector and one to drive the SD
flash module controller.
•Control circuitry for driving the NIC activity LED, the system status LED, the power LED, and the disk
activity LED, which are all located on the LED/switch board
•On-board LED that indicates USB flash drive activity
•System power state and status indicators -- power, reset, and NMI switches
NOTE: There may be features (for future use) in addition to those in this list.
2.5 LED/Switch Board
The LED/switch board provides input selection switches and LED status indicators for the server system.
The LED/switch board is connected to the FP board and receives status and alarm signals from it. The
LED/switch board has the following features:
•Connects the front panel board signals to the front panel. There are four switches and five LEDs. The
power status LED and the chassis ID LED are embedded in the switch and the other three LEDs are
on the control panel. (See Figure 5.)
•On board switches for power, reset, chassis ID, and NMI
•On board LEDs to indicate power status, chassis ID, system status, HDD activity/fault and NIC
activity
NOTE: For information about the telco alarm LEDs that are also on the front panel, see Section 7.5, Light-
Guided Diagnostics

Kontron CG1200 Carrier Grade Server Installation and Maintenance Guide 11
2.6 Telco Alarm Module (TAM) Board
The CG1200 server Telco Alarms Module (TAM) board provides the connector interface and supporting
logic for the telco alarms function. The TAM board also provides an alarms function with fault relays and
access by cable to the fault relay contacts at the back of the system. A ribbon cable connects the TAM
board to the front panel board.
For detailed information about the telco alarms and fault relays, see the “Telco Alarms (TAM)” chapter in
the CG1200 Carrier Grade Server Technical Product Specification on the Kontron support website at
http://us.kontron.com/support.
2.7 Hard Disk Drives
The CG1200 Carrier Grade Server chassis supports up to four hard disk drives that are accessible from
the front of the chassis when the bezel is removed. The hard disk drives are mounted in removable drive
carriers that latch into the drive bay sub-assembly. Up to four 2.5-inch hot-swappable drives, either serial
attached SCSI (SAS) rotating hard drives or SATA solid state drives (SSDs), can be mounted in the drive
bay.
Each drives can consume up to 12W of power. Drives used in this server must be specified to run at a
maximum ambient temperature of 40°C.
NOTES:
1) SATA rotating HDDs are not recommended for use in this system because they are sensitive to
rotational vibration from system fan blades and other HDDs.
2) The CG1200 server does not support all SAS or SATA drive models. For a list of validated hard drive
manufacturers and hard drive types, refer to the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) on
the Kontron website at http://us.kontron.com/support/ (search for CG1200, click on Product Downloads,
then Compatibility Matrix).
2.8 Software and Hardware RAID
Software RAID 0/1/10 is provided for all four SAS drives or SATA SSDs. If additional levels of software
and/or HW RAID are needed, see the Configuration Guide for all orderable options.
Hardware RAID (Intel ROC) is available as a separately-orderable module and an additional separately-
orderable CG1200 RAID cable kit that provides the cables and brackets required for installation.
For more information about these options, refer to the Configuration Guide located on the support website
at http://us.kontron.com/support/, (Search for CG1200, click on Product Downloads, then Ordering
Guide).
2.9 SD Flash Module
There is one front-accessible USB SD flash module. For a list of validated SD cards to use with this
module, see the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) on the Kontron website at
http://us.kontron.com/support/ (search for CG1200, click on Product Downloads, and then Compatibility
Matrix).

2.10 Server Board (Baseboard)
The CG1200 server uses the Intel® S2400EP4 server board for the baseboard. The processors and
memory DIMMs are on the server board and support for several optional accessories, such a PCI riser
slot, the platform management subsystem, and RMM4or I/O module connectors.
Figure 7 shows the key components and connectors on the S2400EP4 server board.

2.11 Riser Card Assembly
The Intel
®
Server Board S2400EP4 has one riser slot capable of supporting a full-height, full-length PCIe
x16 riser card.
Once a PCI add-in card is installed and the riser card assembly is remounted in the chassis, the card is
accessible from the server back panel.
2.12 Ethernet NIC Ports
The S2400EP4 server board (baseboard) provides four network interface controller (NIC) RJ-45
connectors on the chassis back panel. Additional rear-accessible GbE NIC ports can be added to the
system by using a PCIe add-in card or installed as an I/O module.
2.13 Remote Management Module 4
RMM4 is a supported option on the S2400EP4 server board iBMC. To use this feature, a separately-
orderable RMM4 kit must be installed. Another option is an RMM4Lite kit that enables advanced features
in the iBMC without using a dedicated management NIC.

2.14 I/O Module
Space on the chassis floor with support standoffs is provided for adding an optional I/O module at the rear
of the server. An I/O module connector (and use of a smaller connector also used for RMM4 support) is
how the I/O module is connected to communicate with the server board.
2.15 Power Supply Subsystem
The power supply subsystem consists of up to two AC or DC hot-swappable power supply modules (two
needed for redundancy) and a power distribution board (PDB). The server comes with one power supply
module and a filler panel in the second power supply slot. The second redundant power supply is
separately-orderable.
The power supply module is rated for 650W output capability in full AC or DC input voltage range. The
minimum steady-state DC input voltage at which the equipment remains fully operational is -38 VDC. The
nominal operating voltage of the DC system is -48 VDC.
The server also includes an auxiliary power dongle from the power distribution board for use with
optional, additional cards.
2.16 System Cooling
There are two cooling areas in the CG1200 server as illustrated in
Figure 8. All system components except the PCI riser card assembly and components under it are
cooled by a set of four CPU/DIMM dual rotor fans mounted near the front of the chassis behind the SAS
HDD bay. The PCI riser card assembly is cooled by a separate fan located in front of the riser assembly
on the left side of the chassis
Internal power supply fans cool the power distribution board (PDB) and power supply modules.
