Infoblox 2205 Series Hardware Components
The Infoblox 2205 Series are 2-U appliances that you can efficiently mount in a standard equipment rack. For rack mounting information, see
Mounting Procedures .
Front Panel
Infoblox 2205 Series front panel components include the LCD (liquid crystal display) panel and navigation buttons, communication ports, and hard disk
drives, as shown in Figure 1 and described in
to access the hard disk drives, as shown in
see Ethernet Port LEDs and Interface Connector Pin Assignments
Table 1 describes the Infoblox 2205 Series front panel components.

Component Description
Hard Disk Four hot-swappable Infoblox data storage devices configured in a RAID 10 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) array. Each disk
Drives drive has LEDs on the far left side of each drive carrier, that indicate the connection and activity status on the disk drive. The top LED
flickers green when the disk drive is operational and performing read-write operations. The lower LED is dark (inactive) during all
operations. Both drive LEDs are dark when the disk drive is not connected. You must use the Grid Manager UI or the NIOS CLI to
verify disk operation. For more information, see
On/Off Switch A power switch to turn the power supply of the appliance on and off. The switch is hidden. Use a small blunt object, such as a paper
clip, to gently push the switch.
Power LED An LED that glows green when there is power to the appliance. When it is dark, the appliance is not receiving power, even if the power
cable is plugged in. When it glows red, there is an error. Ensure that you power on the appliance through the On/Off switch using a
small blunt object, such as a paper clip.
USB Port Reserved for future use.
IPMI Port Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS. The IPMI/LOM Port supports 10/100
/1000 Mbps operations. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly connected to the network before you configure LOM through Grid
Manager for remote management. The IPMI port auto-negotiates up to Fast Ethernet 1000BASE-TX speeds; ensure that the switch
port to which the IPMI port connects will auto-negotiate to 1000 Mbps operation.
MGMT Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port for appliance management, or for appliance services on the network. You enable the MGMT
port and define its use through the Grid Manager after the initial setup.
The Advanced Appliance PT-2205 must be managed through its MGMT port.
