The NetScaler SDX 26000-100G appliances have the following ports:

  • RS232 serial Console Port.

  • One 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 copper Ethernet LOM Port. Use this port to remotely monitor and manage the appliance independently of the NetScaler software.

  • Two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 copper Ethernet Management Ports, numbered 0/1 and 0/2. These ports are used to connect directly to the appliance for NetScaler administration functions.

  • Eight 100G Ethernet Ports, numbered 100/1 to 100/8 from left to right. For information about supported transceivers per port, see 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G ports.

The following components are visible on the back panel of the SDX 26000-100G appliances:

  • Two 240 GB removable boot solid-state drives (SSDs).
  • Six 960 GB removable SSDs.

    Note: Drive densities might increase as components become EOL but its size is never smaller than the original.

  • Power switch, which turns power to the appliance on or off.
    • If the OS is functional, press the switch for less than two seconds to power down the system with a graceful shutdown.
    • If the OS is not responsive, press the power switch for more than 4 seconds to force the power off.
  • Two power supplies, 100–240 VAC. Each power supply has an LED indicating its status, as described in the following table:
LED Color LED Indicates
OFF No power to any power supply on the appliance.
Flashing RED No power to this power supply.
Flashing GREEN Power supply is in standby mode.
GREEN Power supply is functional.
RED Power supply failure.
Flashing RED and GREEN Warning (OVP/UVP/OCP/OTP/Fan); OVP = Over Voltage Protection; UVP = Under Voltage Protection; OCP = Over Current Protection; OTP = Over Temperature Protection.
  • Disable alarm button, which is functional only when the appliance has dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies. Press this button to silence the power alarm when one of the two power supplies loses input power or when a power supply is malfunctioning.
  • Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) Button, used at the request of Technical Support to initiate a core dump. To press this red button, which is recessed to prevent unintentional activation, use a pen, pencil, or other pointed object. The NMI Button is also available remotely over the network in the LOM GUI, in the Remote Control menu.
