FIGURE 5
4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet module front panels
The front panel of the 4-port module includes the following features:
•
Four LEDs per port
•
Four 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP optics ports
10 Gbps Ethernet interface module LEDs
All 4-port interface modules have LEDs that indicate the status of each port, as described in
Table 4
.
10 Gbps Ethernet ports
The 10 Gbps Ethernet module has four physical ports that allow you to connect your router to other
network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps.
You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers (provided by Dell) in each port you intend to
use. XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface
for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY).
Table 5
lists the 10 Gbps XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from Dell.
For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to
“Installing a
fiber-optic transceiver”
on page 96.
