10 Gigabit Ethernet customer data network ports

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) customer data network ports are used to connect the
server or cluster node to the customer's data network (also called the public data
network). These ports may be aggregated into a 1, 2, 3, or 4 aggregated port.
See the Network Administration Guide for more information on creating aggregations.
The 10 GbE ports operate at speeds of ten (10) gigabits per second. The 10 GbE ports use
enhanced small form factor pluggable (SFP+) optical connectors.
Note: The 10 GbE customer data network ports cannot be used to
interconnect cluster nodes.
SPF+ optical transceiver module considerations. The SFP+ modules can be removed from
the chassis. The 10 GbE SFP+ cluster interconnect modules are interchangeable with
each other and with the 10 GbE SFP+ network modules.
Note: When removed, the 10 GbE and 8 GB Fibre Channel (FC) SFP+ storage
modules are indistinguishable from one another except for their serial
numbers. The serial number is located on the side of the module housing and
is only visible when the module is removed. Serial numbers prefixes are
different as follows:
10 GbE: FTLX<number>
■
FC: FTLF<number>

Once connected, each 10 GbE port has two indicator LEDs; one green and one amber.
These LEDs provide link status and network activity status information as follows:
