Link aggregation for Ethernet connections also provides redundancy, in case
one of the links fails. The DR4000 system also comes with a Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) card for future enhancements.
The DR4000 system ships equipped with the 1-GbE, I-GbE, or 10-GbE
SFP+ NIC. To visually differentiate between the NIC types, observe the
markings on the NICs installed in the rear chassis of the DR4000 system:
• 1-GbE NIC is labeled as GRN=10 ORN=100 YEL=1000
• 10-GbE NIC is labeled as 10G=GRN 1G=YLW
NOTE:
There are three key requirements when choosing to use the 10-GbE
NIC configuration: 1) use only CAT6 copper cabling, 2) you need two switch
ports capable of supporting 10-GbE NICs, and 3) you do not connect the 1-GbE
ports.
NOTE:
There are three key requirements when choosing to use the 10-GbE
SFP+ NIC configuration: 1) use only Dell-supported SFP+ transceivers, 2) you
need two switch ports capable of supporting 10-GbE SFP+ NICs (and LC fiber-
optic or twin-axial cabling), and 3) you do not connect the 1-GbE ports.
To verify the types of NICs that are installed in your system, click
DashboardNetworking to display the NIC information. For more
information, see "Configuring Networking Settings" on page 31.
In addition, you can also use the following DR4000 system CLI command to
display NIC-related information:
network --show
