An Infoblox appliance has several types of ports on its front panel:
...
Figure 4 describes DB-9 and RJ-45 Ethernet connector pin assignments. DB-9 pin assignments follow the EIA232 standard. To make a serial connection from your management system to the console port, you can use an RJ-45 rollover cable and two female RJ-45-to-female DB-9 adapters, or a female DB-9-to-female DB-9 null modem cable.
The RJ-45 pin assignments follow IEEE 802.3 specifications. All Infoblox Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and automatically adjust to standard straight-through and cross-over ethernet cables.

...
| Modules | Five field replaceable fan modules to help maintain optimum operating temperature. |
...
Each fan has an air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance. Do not obstruct. |
| UID |
...
| LED | Blue = UID is activated through pressing the UID button on the appliance or 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. |

...
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. |
