|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| LCD Panel | An LCD screen that displays network settings, software version number, hardware serial number, and software licenses. You can view and configure the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port. |
| Navigation Buttons | Buttons that allow you to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the LAN1 port through the LCD. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to specify numbers and the Left and Right buttons to navigate across digits. You must specify whether to save input (Accept) or discard it (Cancel). Selecting Cancel at any time returns you to the previous entry. Entering Accept on the third screen returns you to the system status screen. |
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. |
| IPMI Port | Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly connected to the network before you configure LOM through the Infoblox GUI for remote management. |
| USB Port | Reserved for future use. |
Console Port | A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and view basic system functions through the CLI (command line interface). Should you need to use a USB-to-Serial adapter to carry a serial connection over a USB port in a computer that lacks a 9-pin serial interface, use a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle connects to a laptop, the laptop also must be grounded properly. Failure to do so may result in damage to the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for such damage. For DB-9 pin assignments, see Figure 3. |
MGMT Port | A 1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that you use for appliance management. DNS threat protection does not apply to the MGMT port. You can enable the MGMT port and define its use through the GUI after the initial setup. |
HA Port (not used) | Reserved for future use. |
LAN1 Port | A 1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network, and can be used for DNS threat protection. You must use the LAN1 port for initial appliance setup. The LAN1 port handles all traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. |
LAN2 Port | A 1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network, and can be used for DNS threat protection. The LAN2 port is disabled by default. You can enable the LAN2 port and define its use through the GUI after the initial setup. |
UID Button | The unit identification button. When you press the UID button, the LCD panel on the front panel blinks and the UID LED on the rear panel glows blue. In a rack environment, the UID feature enables easier location of a server when moving between the front and rear of the rack. You can also identify the appliance through the Infoblox GUI and CLI command. |
Status LED | Reserved for future use. |
Power LED | An LED that glows blue 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. Ensure that you power on the appliance through the On/Off switch using a small blunt object, such as a paper clip |
Alarm LED | Reserved for future use. |

Note: The four Ethernet interfaces on the front center panel, labeled as shown in Figure 1, are inactive. They cannot be activated or otherwise used for networking applications by the user.

| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Hard Disk Drive | One (1) Infoblox data storage device. |
| Drive Indicators | LEDs that flash green to indicate the hard drive is processing data. |
| Fans | A fan system (5 fans total) to help maintain optimum operating temperature. Do not obstruct |
| UID LED | Blue = UID is activated through pressing the UID button on the appliance Blinking Blue = UID is activated through the Infoblox GUI or CLI command Dark = UID is deactivated Note: When UID is activated, the LCD on the front panel blinks at the same time. |
| Power Supply | Each power supply has a power outlet for connecting the appliance to a standard AC or DC (Direct Current) power source. |
Power LED | The power indicator is green if the power supply has power and is dark if it does not have power. |
| Air Vent | An air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance. Do not obstruct. |
