In Riser 1 on the left-hand side, a Low-profile PCIe slot houses two SFP ports:

  • The left port is LAN1 (NIC1) in the Expressway user interface.

  • The right port is LAN2 (NIC2) if used in the interface.

Power supplies PSU 01 and PSU 02. The second power supply provides 1+1 redundancy.

  • LAN4 Right Hand Port→ Not currently used by Expressway.

Note

 

With all Expressway version releases on CE1300, optional support is available for a Dedicated Management Interface (DMI), which uses LAN3 as an out-of-band management interface.
