Rear Panel Identification

Use one of the following illustrations to familiarize yourself with the Roving Edge Device.

Note

To meet MIL-STD-461 Rev G RE102 requirements, all Ethernet network cables attached to the Roving Edge Device must be CAT8 rated. Otherwise, the minimum requirement for Ethernet cables is CAT6.

No. Description
1

PCIe 0: 1 Quad port 10GBASE-T Ethernet card with RJ-45 port assignments from left to right: 3, 2, 1, 0

For GPU and Storage shapes, use the following ports:

  • Port 0 (rightmost port) – Connect this port to your data center network. See Cable the Roving Edge Device.
  • Ports 1 and 2 – Can optionally be used for Ethernet bonding with port 0. See Managing Ethernet Bonding
  • Port 3 (leftmost port) – Reserved Ethernet port 3. Don't connect to this port.

For a Compute shape, optionally use ports 0, 1, and 2 for Ethernet bonding with the PCIe 3 port 0. See item 7A in this table.

2 Power receptacle

System status LED

  • On – Critical event occurred
  • Off – Normal
4 Reset button
5

Power switch and LED

  • On – Host is powered on
  • Off – Host is powered off
  • Amber – Fault
6 DB-9 serial console port.

Your initial communication with the device is made through the serial console that's connected to a controlling host computer, such a laptop.

See Cable the Roving Edge Device.
7 A

The Compute shape includes 2 additional Quad port 10GBASE-T Ethernet cards.

A diagram showing the topmost card is PCIe 3, the lower card is PCIe 2.

PCIe 3, port 0 – Connect this port to your data center network. See Cable the Roving Edge Device.

All the other ports on PCIe 2 and PCIe 3 can optionally be used for Ethernet bonding with PCIe 3 port 0. You can also optionally use ports 0, 1, 2 on PCIe 0 (Item 1 in this table). See Managing Ethernet Bonding.

7 B

The GPU shape includes 3 NVIDIA AD104GL [L4] GPUs.

7 C

The Storage shape includes 4 additional 15.38 SSDs.

8 Standard lock slot
