6-Gb/s mini-SAS port LEDs and port direction (input or output) — Figure 63 shows the
6-Gb/s mini-SAS port LED—a bi-color (blue/green) LED next to the connector, either left or
right—that indicates the link/activity of the mini-SAS port.
Figure 63 6-Gb/s mini-SAS port LED
Table 33 describes the 2U DAE LCC 6-Gb/s port LEDs.
Management (RJ-12) port connector — Figure 64 on page 83 shows the management port
(labeled with two symbols; one depicting a telephone handset with a line through it and
the other depicting a battery). The telephone handset with a line through it symbol means
that you cannot connect telephone type circuits to this connector (see the following
WARNING). This port connects the LCC (A and B) ports to the SPS (A and B) ports,
respectively.
The SPS (RJ-12) port is a LAN port not a WAN port. LAN ports contain safety extra-low
voltage (SELV) circuits, and WAN ports contain telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
An RJ-45 (or TNV-type) looks the same as the RJ-12 except for two very important
differences. An RJ-45 is an 8-wire modular jack. The RJ-12 is a six-wire modular jack. The
RJ-45 plugs and jacks are wider than their RJ-12 counterparts - 7/16" vs 3/8". An RJ-45
plug won't fit into an R-J12 jack. But an RJ-12 plug will fit into an RJ-45 jack. Use caution
when connecting cables. To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to connect TNV circuits
to SELV circuits.
