The hardware interface panel is where you connect to a Data Domain system with a serial console,
a monitor and keyboard, or through an Ethernet connection. See Figure 18 on page 51. The
Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth1 are for data transfer to the Data Domain system or for
administrative access over a network. Both Ethernet interfaces are 1000 Base-T Gigabit copper
ports that can accept 10/100 Base-T or Gigabit connections. The four USB ports below the Ethernet
ports are currently not used.
Each Ethernet connection has two LEDs, one on each side. The left LED is the Link/Activity LED.
When the LED on the left side is dark, the port has no live connection. The LED glows green when
a link is established and flashes green with transmit/receive traffic. The speed LED (on the right
side of the connector) indicates 1000-Mbps operation when amber, 100-Mbps when green and
10-Mbps when off.
