Chapter 4: Ports and Indicators
The Layer 2/3 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet switches contain two bays in the rear that each
house a 2-port 10-Gigabit interface module containing either CX-4, XFP or SFP+ ports,
depending upon your chosen configuration (see Figure 4-6). Bay 1 can be used for
Stacking or 10-Gb/s uplink. Bay 2 can also be used for stacking, but it normally is used
to house a module for links to one or two external 10-Gb/s switches.
Current modules available are:
• AOM-SSE-X2C module with two CX4 copper interface ports for connections up to
12 meters in distance.
NOTE: You must use a Supermicro CX4 cable if you are using one or more of these ports for
stacking. You may use the Supermicro CBL-0474L for 1M connections or the CBL-0389L-01
for 3M connections.
• AOM-SSE-X2F module with two XFP interface ports for accepting XFP transceivers
allowing fiber connections up to 300 meters in distance.
• AOM-SSE-X2S module with two SFP+ interface ports for accepting SFP+ copper
cables or SFP+ transceivers allowing fiber connections up to 300 meters in
distance.
Serial Ports
One serial port is available for communications to an external control console.
Power Port
This port is for connecting the power cable for powering the Layer 2/3 1/10-Gigabit
Ethernet switches.
4-7 Indicators
This section covers LED indicators for the Layer 2/3 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet switches.
These LEDs are listed and described in Table 4-6.
