2 Aruba S3500 Series Uplink Module | Installation Guide
10GBASE-X Port
Each uplink module is equipped with four 10GBASE-X ports. These ports are intended for use with Aruba
SFPs. SFPs are 10Gb hot-swappable, optical transceivers, which convert serial electrical signals to external
serial optical or electrical signals.
These ports can be used as uplink ports or a combination two uplink ports and two stacking ports. By
default, Ports 0 and 1 are configured as uplink ports and Ports 2 and 3 are configured as stacking ports.
These port assignments can be changed to meet your configuration needs.
10GBASE-X Port LEDs
Each uplink module port has two LEDs. These LEDs are used to monitor the status and activity on each
port. Depending the LED mode selected through the LCD panel, the displayed information will be different.
For more information on the LCD panel, see "LCD Panel" on page10.
SFP and SFP+ Modules
SFP/SFP+ Modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit Ethernet transceivers that
provide optical or copper connections to other devices.
