Cable Requirement

Description

Alarm Port

Customer supplied cable

Alarm contact via a single shielded male HD15 connector. A single alarm port is present in SBC 5400 platform.
This software release does not support the Alarm Port.

Management Ports

CAT5e cable

Four copper Ethernet Ports which process Management traffic and perform protocol termination.

Locator


Module identifier indicator

Media Ports

Single mode or Multi mode fiber/copper CAT5e cable

Four copper SFP or fiber SFP ports for media and signaling traffic.

High Availability Ports

Single mode or Multi mode fiber/copper CAT5e cable (NON-CROSSOVER TYPE ONLY)

Two copper SFP or fiber SFP ports for redundancy synchronization traffic. The platform supports box level redundancy via communication paths provided by the external HA Ethernet ports.

Serial Port

Male DB9 connector

An RS-232 port used by BMC.

Field Service Port

Copper CAT5e cable

A single Field Service Port.

Power Input


Power Supply. The following are the descriptions of the power supply LED functions:

  • Off: No power input to the supply.
  • Amber: Power supply fault.
  • Blinking Amber: Main system power output fault.
  • Blinking Green: Standby power to BMC is ON but main system power is not enabled.
  • Solid Green: Both standby power to BMC and main system power are ON and OK.
Warning

Ribbon-provided SFP modules must be used to guarantee proper operation of the external ports. Failure to follow this recommendation may cause permanent damage to the system.

Note

CAT6 cabling may be required in environments where there is unusually high Electro-Magnetic interference (EMI) from power lines, manufacturing equipment, or certain types of lighting.


The Ethernet Port LEDs Description table shows the two green LEDs (solid green and flashing green) for each network port.
