## Non-proprietary I/O Port Specifications

This section provides pin assignment information for the non-proprietary connectors on the following components:

- Compute module (base and expansion)

- TP900 storage module

### Compute Module

Table A-8 lists the non-proprietary connectors that are located on the rear panel of the compute module (see Figure A-1). The third column of the table indicates where you can find the pin assignments for these connectors.

Table A-8. Compute Module Connectors
