All connectivity is via the connector panel. All connectors can support active cables.
2.2.1 Downlink Ports
There are four downlink ports per gateway port group. These ports have SFP+ connectors that sup-
port both direct-attach copper cables and optical cables by using SR or LR modules.
When configured for Ethernet, only 3 of the 4 downlink ports per gateway group are used and all
downlink ports within the gateway group must have the same speed, that is, 1Gbps or 10Gbps. See
Table 5 for the port numbers of the active Ethernet ports.
If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative
