Shared port operation
Port X1 (10BASE-CX4) and Port X1 (SFP+)
Port X1 (10BASE-CX4) is multiplexed with Port X1 (SFP+). Either the CX-4 port is active or the SFP+ port is
active, but not both. The triangle LED underneath each port indicates which port is active. The SFP+ port
always has precedence over the CX4 port.
• If there is a module installed in the SFP+ port, the SFP+ port is the active port.
o The LED under the SFP+ port is on.
o The LED under the CX4 port is off.
• If there is no module installed in the SFP+ port, the CX4 port is the active port.
o The LED under the CX4 port is on.
o The LED under the SFP+ port is off.
Port X7 and port X8
• Port X7 (SFP+) and port X8 (SFP+) are each multiplexed with an internal 10Gb interface cross-link,
which is provided on the enclosure midplane between two horizontally adjacent VC modules to
establish stacking links. Either the port is active or the internal cross-link is active, but not both. The
triangle LEDs underneath ports X7 and X8 indicate whether the SFP+ port is active or the internal
