Description Of Hardware; Ethernet Ports - Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX600 User Interface Description

System LED
There is one IBP Module system LED with dual functions, controlled by MMB for error status
reporting and blade identification. Different flashing frequencies are used to indicate the
different functions. There are two functions, identification and error reporting, with identification
having a higher priority than error reporting.
NOTE: If there is an error and the identification function is activated, the LED still functions as
an identification LED. The LED can only be disabled by the MMB with a 255 seconds timeout. If
an error is happening, the LED for error reporting will always be flashing and cannot be turn off.
The following table describes the system LED indications.

PRIMERGY BX600 Front Panel Port Description
The PRIMERGY BX600 IBP Module contains 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to the
network and 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server
management MMB modules.
The 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. These ports support auto
negotiation, duplex mode (Half or Full duplex), and flow control. The 30 Gigabit Ethernet ports
that connect to server modules can only operate at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex. These 30 ports also
support flow control.
The following figure illustrates the PRIMERGY BX600 IBP front panel.

2.2.1 Ethernet Ports

Up-link Ports
12 external RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode, and flow
control. Each port can operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex, and
control the data stream to prevent buffers from overflowing. The up-link ports can be connected
to other IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliant devices up to 100 m (328 ft.) away using
Category 5 twisted-pair cable. These ports also feature automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so
you can use straight-through cables for all connections. These up-link ports are named g31 –
g42 in the configuration interface.
Note – Note that when using auto-negotiation, the speed, transmission mode and flow control
