1 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter ports and indicators

Optional 1 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapters can be added to systems.

The optional 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface adapter can be installed in the node canister of any system. The host interface adapter is used for iSCSI connections to host systems. The ports cannot be used for system management.

1 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter ports

The adapter has four RJ45 ports for connection to an Ethernet network using Cat 5 or Cat 6 cables. The ports (1) are named Ethernet ports 3 to 6, from left to right.

1 1 Gbps Ethernet ports (x4)–named 3 through 6
2 Link speed (x4–one for each port)
3 Activity (x4–one for each port)

1 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter indicators

Each Ethernet port has two green LED indicators. The link speed LED (2) is on the left and the activity LED (3) is on the right.

Table 1. 1 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter LED activity.
LED	Symbol	Color	State	Meaning
`2` Link speed	None	Green	OFF	No link connection or link connected at less than 1Gbps.
`2` Link speed	None	Green	ON	There is a 1Gbps link connection to a remote device.
`3` Activity	None	Green	OFF	No activity.
`3` Activity	None	Green	FLASHING	Activity on link.
