About platform interfaces
Every platform includes multiple interfaces. The exact number of interfaces that are on the system
depends on the platform type.
Each interface on the platform has a set of properties that you can configure, such as enabling or
disabling the interface, setting the requested media type and duplex mode, and configuring flow control.
For information about optical transceivers and cable pinouts for this platform, see F5 Platforms:
Accessories at support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/f5-
plat-accessories.html.
About 1GbE SFP/10GbE SFP+ interfaces
The i800/i2000/i4000 Series platforms include 1GbE SFP ports (1.0-4.0 and 7.0-10.0) and 10GbE SFP

This displays the list of available interfaces.
2. On the menu bar, click Statistics.
The Statistics screen for all interfaces opens.
About interface media type and duplex mode
All interfaces on the system default to auto-negotiate speed and full duplex settings. We recommend that
you also configure any network equipment that you plan to use with the system to auto-negotiate speed
and duplex settings. If you connect the system to network devices with forced speed and duplex settings,
you must force the speed and duplex settings of the system to match the settings of the other network
device.
Important: If the system is attempting to auto-negotiate interface settings with an interface that has the
speed and duplex settings forced (that is, auto-negotiation is disabled), you will experience severe
performance degradation.
By default, the media type on interfaces is set to automatically detect speed and duplex settings, but you
can specify a media type as well. Use the following syntax to set the media type:
tmsh modify net interface <interface_key>
media <media_type> | auto
18
If the media type does not accept the duplex mode setting, a message appears. If media type is set to
auto, or if the interface does not accept the duplex mode setting, the duplex setting is not saved to the /
config/bigip_base.conf file.
Important: Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality is retained when you manually configure an interface to use
specific speed and duplex settings. You can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable when
media settings are forced, and you will be able to successfully link to either DTE or DCE devices.

Environmental Guidelines
General environmental and installation guidelines
The i2000/i4000 Series platform is an industrial network appliance that is designed to be mounted in a
standard 19-inch EIA rack.
Follow these guidelines to adhere to safety precautions:
Install the rack according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the rack for stability before
•
placing equipment in it.
• Build and position the rack so that after you install the platform, the power supply and the vents on
both the front and back of the unit remain unobstructed. The platform must have adequate ventilation
around the unit at all times.
• Although not required, a 1U space between units makes it easier for you to remove the unit from the
rack in the event that the unit requires service. A 1U space between units also provides additional
cable routing options.
• Leaving at least 100 mm of space from the front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door
provides enough room for you to route the cables without excessive bending or insulation damage.
• Do not plug the unit into a branch circuit shared by more electronic equipment than the circuit is
designed to manage safely at one time.
• Route and secure power cords so that they do not obstruct removal of the fan tray.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5® recommends that you use
proper ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the unit.

When you add or replace a power supply unit in your system, be sure to verify the supply's features and
that the PWR-XXXX part numbers match to ensure that you have the correct supply.
Guidelines for AC-powered equipment
An AC-powered installation must meet these requirements:
•
Use a 15 amp external branch circuit protection device to install the unit.
• Use one power feed for each individual power supply.
Important: The platform must be installed in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION, such as a central
office or customer premises environment.
Note: The power cables included with this unit ar
with other electrical appliances.
Note: These guidelines apply to ST
multiple connections to the AC MAINS SUPPLY:
• The building installation shall provide a means for connection to protective earth; and
• The equipment is to be connected to that means; and
• A SERVICE PERSON shall check whether or not the socket-outlet from which the equipment is to be
powered provides a connection to the building protective earth. If not, the SERVICE PERSON shall
arrange for the installation of a PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTOR from the separate
protective earthing terminal to the protective earth wire in the building.

Returned Material Data Security Statement
About returned material data security
Follow these data security guidelines when returning equipment to F5®for reprocessing or repair
guidelines include reprocessing procedures and optional customer-end procedures.
About memory technologies used in F5 equipment
F5®equipment contains volatile, battery-backed volatile, and non-volatile memory
all traces of data on power down. Battery-backed volatile memory retains data as long as battery charge is
maintained. Non-volatile memory retains data indefinitely.
Volatile memory
Volatile memory loses all traces of data on power down; therefore, customer data that is stored in volatile
memory is secure when power is removed from the platform. No further action is required by customers
for equipment that includes volatile memory.
Battery-backed volatile memory
This F5® platform contains a coin battery for maintaining BIOS settings and the system clock. All data
maintained by the coin battery is used only for system specific tasks. No customer data is maintained by
the battery-backed volatile memory. No further action is required by customers for equipment that
includes volatile memory.
. The
. Volatile memory loses
Non-volatile memory
F5® platforms include various non-volatile memory components. These non-volatile memory
components can be categorized as either user inaccessible or user accessible.
Inaccessible non-volatile memory components are programmed during manufacture or software
installation. The data stored in user inaccessible non-volatile memory is used for setting voltage levels,
determining the sequence of operational events, and the managing appliance operational condition. Data
held within user inaccessible, non-volatile memory represents no data security risk to customers. User
inaccessible, non-volatile memory cannot be modified by appliance users, and therefore, contains no
customer data.
