The front panel contains the following components:
LEDs that display the following information:
The status of the switch module and its network connection
The status of the external connections to the switch module
Eight FC SFP+ port connectors to attach SFP+ modules. They are numbered 23-30 right to left.
Eight FCoE/CEE SFP+ port connectors to attach SFP+ modules. They are numbered 15-22 right to
left.
One RJ-45 Ethernet port connector for debug and field support.
One mini-USB console port connector used for switch management. This port requires a mini-USB
plug on the serial cable.
