About the compute node rear panel
The rear panel of the appliance compute node has several access ports and other features, which are displayed in the following figures.
Table: Compute node rear panel features and connectors
Number | Function |
|---|---|
1,2 | Power Supply 1 and Power Supply 2 - Dual, redundant, and hot-swappable power supply modules |
3 | DB-15 VGA monitor connector |
4 | Serial port - Serial connection for Veritas Technical Support use only |
5 | Three stacked USB 3.0 Type A serial ports for general use |
6 | IPMI port - An external RJ45 port used for appliance remote management purposes |
7 | eth0/NIC1 A 1-GbE port copper connector that is reserved for use during the initial configuration of the 3350 Appliance Note: Veritas does not support forming a NIC bond using eth0/NIC1 with other eth/NIC ports. |
8 | eth1/NIC2 |
9 | eth2/NIC3 A 1-GbE port copper connector The eth2 ports on each of the 3350 Appliance compute nodes attach to each other using straight through or cross-over cables. For example, eth2 on first compute node connects to eth2 of the second compute node. |
10 | eth3/NIC4 A 1-GbE port copper connector The eth3 ports on each of the 3350 Appliance compute nodes attach to each other using straight through or cross-over cables. For example, eth3 on first compute node connects to eth3 of the second compute node. |
11 | PCIe riser assembly 1 |
12 | PCIe riser assembly 2 |
13 | PCIe riser assembly 3 * (empty) |
* 3350 Appliance compute nodes do not contain PCIe riser cards in PCI riser assembly 3. | |
Veritas appliances may include grounding studs in case your lab environment has such a requirement. The studs are located on the rear panel of the appliance. You can use standard grounding practices to connect grounding wires to the studs.
The serial number is located on a vertical bar on the rear panel of the appliance.
The ports on the rear panel are color-coded for easy identification.
