Serial console port:
This serial port provides a connection to initially configure the main system's CPU,
including the NFVIS software that runs there, using a traditional serial terminal. The terminal should be
configured for 9600 8-N-1.
LEDs for Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports (numbered 4 in Figure 1) are a set of two dual ports: for every RJ45
port, there is a corresponding fiber optic port. There are four LEDs for the front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports
(numbered 8 in Figure 1). The first two LEDs are for the first set of ports and the last two LEDs are for the
second set of ports. If both RJ45 and fiber optic ports are enabled when the system boots, the fiber optic port
is used and the RJ45 port is disabled.
