LCD module
The front panel of the appliance
has a liquid crystal display (LCD) module that includes an LCD and
five menu buttons. The LCD provides information about the model type
and build number of the appliance; however, the menu buttons are not
functional.
Console connector
The front
panel of all Type 7199 appliance has a console connector. For initial
configuration, use the RJ45 (IS0 8877) to DB-9 (also known as a DE-9
or EIA/TIA-562) serial null-modem cable that is shipped with the appliance
to connect from an ASCII terminal
1 or to connect from
a PC that is running terminal emulation software to the appliance.
There is a RJ45 connection on one end of the cable, and a DB-9 serial
null-modem connection on the other end of the cable. The RJ45 end
connects to the appliance and the DB-9 serial null-modem cable end
connects to your ASCII terminal or personal computer. Use the USB-to-serial
converter cable to attach the cable to your personal computer.
Note: For
initial configuration, you can use the RJ45 to serial connection cable
that ships with the appliance or you can create a cable based on the
cable pinout specifications listed in the following table. Do not
use an Ethernet cable to plug the serial console port into an Ethernet
network.

USB port
The front panel of the appliance has
a USB interface conforming to USB 2.0 devices. This USB connector
is not enabled and therefore does not provide any connection.
LEDs
The front panel of all Type 7199 appliances
has three stand-alone LEDs.
- Fault LED
- The amber fault LED is lit when a critical event is
detected.
- Locate LED
- The blue locate LED is lit when activated by the firmware. You
can control whether this LED is lit from the command line. The LED
remains lit until deactivated. Use the locate-led command
in the command-line interface:
- To activate, enter the following command:
locate-led on
- To deactivate, enter the following command:
locate-led off
- Power LED
- The power LED is lit when the appliance is connected
to a power source and you have turned on the appliance.
- The green power LED is illuminated when the appliance is on and
fully functioning.
- If the LED is not illuminated, the appliance has been turned off.
Power button
The power button is located on
the front panel of the appliance. Press the power button to:
- Turn on the appliance.
- Start a graceful shutdown (if the appliance is already turned
on).
Pressing the power button and holding for 5 seconds
performs an immediate hardware shutdown.
Note: When
you press the power button to turn off the appliance, electrical current
still flows to the device. To completely stop all electricity to the
appliance, unplug all power cords.
Network connectors
The front
panel of each appliance has two LAN management Ethernet ports and
two Ethernet modules. See
Ethernet network configuration for
a description of the Ethernet naming convention.
- LAN management Ethernet ports
- The two system management Ethernet ports provide
connection to the LAN. These ports provide remote management access
to the device and cannot be used as data ports. The remaining Ethernet
interfaces can handle data traffic and logging functions to and from
the various DataPower® services.
Best Practice: Use the MGT0 or MGT1 Ethernet
interface for system-wide management functions to handle network traffic
for incoming SNMP, SSH, and user interface functions on your intranet.
Figure 3. Ethernet port LEDs
- MGT0 Ethernet connector
- This Ethernet interface can manage all transaction
data on the appliance. The MGT0 Ethernet connector
also supports IPMI over LAN, including serial over LAN. MGT0 has
an associated speed LED and activity LED:
- Speed LED ( A )
-
- The green LED indicates a 1 Gbps connection.
- The amber LED indicates a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection.
- Activity LED ( B )
-
- The green LED indicates the port is linked.
- The green flashing LED indicates the port is active.
- MGT1 Ethernet connector
- This Ethernet interface can manage all transaction data on the
appliance. MGT1 has an associated LED activity light
and a LED speed light:
- Speed LED ( A )
-
- The green LED indicates a 1 Gbps connection.
- The amber LED indicates a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection.
- Activity LED ( B )
-
- The green LED indicates the port is linked.
- The green flashing LED indicates the port is active.
- Ethernet modules
- The DataPower appliance
has two Ethernet modules for Ethernet connectivity. The left Ethernet
module has eight RJ45 ports, and the right Ethernet module has two
10 Gb small-form factor pluggable (SFP+) ports. The name of the Ethernet
interface depends on the module configuration, with the Ethernet interface
names dependent on the Ethernet module configuration.
The 1 gigabit
module supports Ethernet with unshielded, twisted-pair with interface
standards and includes:
- 10BASE-T
- 100BASE-TX
- 1000BASE-T
The 10 Gigabit module supports small form-factor pluggable
(SFP+) ports with interface modules and patch cables. Autonegotiation
is always enabled:
- Left Ethernet module
- Has eight unshielded, twisted-pair (RJ45) Ethernet ports. The
Ethernet numbers range from ETH0 to ETH7 and
correlate to the number of available ports.
- Right Ethernet module
- Has two 10 Gigabit SFP ports. The Ethernet numbers range from ETH8 to ETH9 and
correlate to the number of available ports.
See Ethernet network configuration for
a description of Ethernet numbering.
Note: The Ethernet modules
are not hot-swappable. Hot swapping the modules causes your system
to crash, and could possibly damage your appliance.
Hard disk drive modules
The
front panel of the appliance includes four, 2.5 inch hard disk drive
modules. The appliance supports SAS hard disk drives, and there are
two LEDs on each hard disk drive module. The left LED monitors hard
disk activity, and the right LED indicates a potential problem:
- A green flashing LED indicates that the hard disk drive is being
accessed.
- An amber flashing LED indicates that the hard disk drive has failed.
- No LED illuminated indicates the hard disk drive is not active.
Note: The hard disk drive modules are not hot-swappable.
Hot swapping the modules could cause your system to crash.
