The Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 is a 2-U platform that is installed in a seismic equipment rack using mounting rails and materials that ship with each appliance. For information about rack mounting, see Installing the
Infoblox-4010/Network Insight ND-4000.
The Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 front panel comes with an optional front cover that you can install when you first set up the appliance. Refer to the installation instructions that ship with each system for information about how to install the front cover.
Note: If you want your Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 appliance to be NEBS Level 3 compliant, do not install the front cover.

Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 Front Panel
After you remove the front panel cover, front panel components include the hard disk drives and indicator lights.
Figure 7 illustrates front panel components.

Table 4 describes front panel components for the Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 system.
Table 4 Front Panel Components for Infoblox-4010 Rev-2
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
UID LED and Button | The unit identification button and LED. In a rack environment, the UID feature enables easier location of a server when moving between the front and rear of the rack. Blue = UID is activated Dark = UID is deactivated |
| System Health LED | This LED identifies the overall health of the system. Green = Normal Amber = System is degraded Red = System is in critical condition |
Power On/ Standby Button and Power LED | This LED indicates whether the power is on. Green = System is on Amber = System is in standby mode Dark = System has no power supply |
| Disk Drives | Four (4) hot-swappable hard disk drives configured in a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) 10 array. |
| Drive LEDs | Each disk drive has one Fault/UID LED (green/amber) that indicates the connection of the disk drive, and a circular Online/Activity LED (green) that goes around the Fault/UID LED to indicate read/write activity status of the disk drive. |
| VGA Port | This port is not supported. Use the console port or LAN1 port for initial setup. |

Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 Disk Drive Front Panel LEDs
Disk drives are located on the appliance front panel. To the right of each drive, two LEDs display connection and activity status. Table 5 lists the disk drive LED combinations and the states they represent.
Table 5 Disk Drive LED Combinations
| Online/Activity LED (Green) | Fault/UID LED (Amber/Blue) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Off or circulating green | Steady green | The drive is operating normally. |
| Off or circulating green | Steady amber | The drive has failed, or it has received a predictive failure alert. |
Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 Rear Panel
The Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 appliance offers a choice of dual AC power supplies, or dual DC power supplies with or without NEBS-3 compliance. In all cases, power supplies are hot swappable; any single power supply can be replaced without disrupting the operations of the appliance.
The Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 provides four (4) RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that operate as the MGMT port, LAN1 port, High Availability (HA) port and LAN2 port in the Infoblox system. The four port assignments are from left to right and reflect standard Infoblox port assignments as shown in Figure 9 and listed in Table 6. Optional system configuration with SFP+ ports is illustrated in Figure 10.

Figure 10 Infoblox-4010 Rev-2, Rear View with Four SFP+ Interfaces
See the following section, Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 Optical Interfaces for more details on optical interface configuration.
Infoblox-4010 Rev-2 Optical Interfaces
Infoblox offers a version of the Infoblox-4010 that provides four 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces that accept SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity. Another offered version of the Infoblox-4010 supports four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces that accept SFP+ transceiver modules, for 10GbE optical or copper connectivity.
In select configurations, Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports.
10GbE interfaces accept Infoblox-provided SFP+ 10GbE Short Range and Long Range transceivers, Cisco SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu, or HP HPJ9283B SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu transceivers.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., two copper interfaces and two fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers may be used in a mixed configuration in the offered 4-Port 10GbE configuration. One possible use case involves installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Infoblox-4010 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper transceivers in the MGMT and HA interfaces.
See the section IB-4000/ND-4000 Series Replaceable Units, for specific information on part numbers, availability, and device compatibility.
Table 6 provides more-specific information on each interface on the rear panel of the Infoblox-4010 Rev-2.
Table 6 Rear Panel Components for Infoblox-4010 Rev-2
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| MGMT Port | A port for use with appliance management or DNS service. You can enable the MGMT port and define its use through the Infoblox GUI. |
| LAN1 Port | A port that connects a NIOS appliance to the network. You must use the LAN1 port to set up the appliance initially. It handles all traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. |
| HA Port | A port through which the active node in an HA (high availability) pair connects to the network using a VIP (virtual IP) address. HA pair nodes also use their HA ports for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) advertisements. From NIOS 8.6.x onwards, hybrid HA is supported. A hybrid HA pair can comprise a physical appliance and a virtual appliance, two physical appliances, or two virtual appliances. For more information on limitations of using HA pair combinations, see Limitations of Using a Combination of a Physical Appliance and a Virtual Appliance for HA. |
| LAN2 Port | A port that connects a NIOS appliance to the network. The LAN2 port is not enabled by default. You can enable the LAN2 port and define its use through the Infoblox GUI after the initial setup. |
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). Only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle is allowed to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, this laptop must be grounded properly as well. 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 5. |
iLO/IPMI Port | Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (integrated 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. |
VGA Port | This port is not supported. Use the console port or LAN1 port for initial setup. USB Ports Reserved for future use. |
Power Supplies | Each of the two redundant power supplies has a power outlet for connecting the appliance to a standard DC (Direct Current) or AC power source. |
| Power Supply LEDs | Green = Normal Off = System is off or power supply has failed. |
| UID LED | Turns on blue to indicate device that is currently being interacted with in the rack. Turned on by pressing the UID button on the front panel. See Table 1. |
Note: All Infoblox Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and automatically adjust to standard straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
