Router modules 1 FIGURE 5 4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet module front panels Lnk 1 Active 2 Lnk Active 3 Lnk Active 4 Lnk Active The front panel of the 4-port module includes the following features: • Four LEDs per port • Four 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP optics ports 10 Gbps Ethernet interface module LEDs All 4-port interface modules have LEDs that indicate the status of each port, as described in Table 4. TABLE 4 LED 10 Gbps Ethernet module LEDs Location State Meaning Link Active Left of each On A link is established with the remote port. Ethernet port Off A link is not established with the remote port. Left of each On The port is transmitting and receiving packets. Ethernet port Off The port is not transmitting or receiving packets. 10 Gbps Ethernet ports The 10 Gbps Ethernet module has four physical ports that allow you to connect your router to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps. You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers (provided by Dell) in each port you intend to use. XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY). Table 5 lists the 10 Gbps XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from Dell. TABLE 5 XFP-compliant transceivers for 10 Gbps Ethernet interface modules Part number Description 10G-XFP-SR 10G-XFP-LR 10G-XFP-ER 10G-XFP-CX4 850 nm serial pluggable XFP optic (LC), target range 300m over multi-mode fiber. 1310 nm serial pluggable XFP optic (LC) for up to 10km over single-mode fiber. 1550 nm serial pluggable XFP optic (LC) for up to 40km over single-mode fiber. 10-Base-CX4, XFP transceiver, 5 km, CX connector.
