The chassis can extend up to 1.25 inches from the front post for all Citrix ADC MPX and SDX
appliances.

Lights out management (LOM) port
• Which LOM features are supported on the Citrix ADC MPX Appliance?
Some platforms have an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), also known as the
Lights out management (LOM) port, on the front panel of the appliance. The following three
LOM features are supported on those platforms:
– Configure the LOM port
– Power cycle the appliance
– Perform a core dump
• Can the LOM interface be configured to accept only encrypted Virtual Network Computer (VNC)
sessions on TCP port 5900?
Yes, customers who enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) on their LOM interface will have their
VNC connections delivered over TLS as well.
For more information on LOM security guidelines, see Secure Deployment Guide for Citrix ADC
MPX, VPX, and SDX Appliances.
• Can the version of SSH used on the LOM interface be upgraded? Is there a patch available?
Individual components of the LOM cannot be upgraded independently. You must upgrade the
entire LOM firmware as a package. On the MPX appliances, the LOM upgrade is performed ex‑
plicitly by going out to the shell and running the upgrade_bmc.sh script.
• Is it possible to add a third‑party or self‑signed SSL certificate to the LOM interface?
Yes, you can enable SSL on the latest binaries for third‑party and self‑signed SSL certificates,
except on the 88XX models. On those models, the current LOM release does not support third‑
party certificates.
