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 terminal1 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.
Table 1. Serial port pinouts. Describes the serial port pinouts for the console connector.
RJ45 DB9
Pin number Signal Pin number Signal
1 RTS 8 CTS
2 DTR 6 DSR
3 TXD 2 RXD
4 GND 5 GND
5 GND 5 GND
6 RXD 3 TXD
7 DSR 4 DTR
8 CTS 7 RTS

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:

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.

Management Ethernet ports
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:
  • 10GBASE-SR
  • 10GBASE-LR
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.
