10GBase-T
Ethernet ports
The BlackPearl system includes two 10GBase-T ports. One of the 10GBase-T
ports can be used for network connectivity on a 10GBase-T network. The left
port of the two 10GBase-T ports is dedicated as the BlackPearl management
port and cannot be used for data transfer.
Notes:
• The 10GBase-T ports auto-negotiate down to 1000Base-T.
• Spectra Logic recommends using the 40 GigE ports, or the 10 GigE ports
for data transfer to ensure maximum performance.
Monitor connector
If necessary, you can connect a monitor to the SVGA connector on the
BlackPearl system for troubleshooting purposes. Only connect a monitor for
initial configuration of the BlackPearl management port, or as directed by
Spectra Logic Technical Support.
