10 Gbe Ports; 10 Gigabit Ethernet Cluster Interconnect Ports - Hitachi 3090 G2 Hardware Reference Manual

The GE Ethernet Network ports are used to connect the server or cluster node to the
customer's data network (also called the public network), and these ports may be
aggregated into a single logical port (refer to the Network Administration Guide for more
information on creating aggregations). GE ports operate at speeds of up to one (1)
gigabit per second, and require the use of a standard RJ45 cable connector.
The GE Customer Ethernet Network ports are labeled as shown next:

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

10 Gigabit Ethernet cluster interconnect ports

The 10 gigabit per second Ethernet (10 GbE) cluster ports allow you to connect cluster
nodes together. The cluster ports are used only in a cluster configuration. The 10 GbE
ports operate at speeds of ten (10) gigabits per second.
Do not use the 10 GbE cluster interconnect ports to connect to the customer data
network (also known as the public data network).
