Ethernet Ports

Each SMOD includes four RJ-45 1-GigabitEthernet (10GbE) network connectors, labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. The ports on SMOD1 are only active in dual 4-socket servers.

Use these ports to connect the server to the network.


Note -  To achieve 10 GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.

The LEDs located above each NET port are Link/Activity (left) and Speed (right) indicators for each port. The following table lists the Ethernet transfer rates and the Speed LED color.
