The console port is serial and the alarm is "dry contact".
The USB port is reserved for use by Oracle personnel, only. The following illustration
shows the ports.

The following table maps the reference numbers in the preceding illustration and the
labeling on the management interfaces. It also, where applicable, lists the operation-
type, slot and port parameters in the phy-interface configuration element for the
management interfaces.

Signaling and Media Interfaces
The signaling and media interfaces provide network connectivity for signaling and
media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network at 10-Gigabit speeds.
Network Interface Units (NIUs) are available in the following configurations:
•
2-port 10GbE NIU
•
4-port 10GbE NIU
The optical 10GbE cards can accept an LC fiber connector using either single mode or
multimode cable.
Mixed transceiver types are not supported on SFP+-based NIUs because compliance
testing shows that the NIU SFP+ ports must be populated with identical SFP+ types.
The Acme Packet 6350 supports the 4x10GbE NIU to provide greater session scaling
and Packet Processing Module (PPM) support. The 4x10GbE NIU contains two
Cavium 78xx chips running in parallel, and each one is attached to two 10GbE media
interfaces. Each chip contains 64GB of DDR4 RAM. The increase in DDR4 RAM
