Transportation Precautions

Exercise caution when transporting equipment.

l The logistics company engaged to transport the equipment must be reliable and comply

with international standards for transporting electronics.

l Ensure that the equipment being transported is always upright. Take necessary

precautions to prevent collisions, corrosion, package damage, damp conditions and pollution.

l Transport the equipment in its original packaging. l Package heavy, bulky parts (such as chassis and blades) and fragile parts (such as PCIe

GPUs and SSDs) separately.

NOTE

Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker for details about parts supported by a server.

l Ensure that all devices are powered off before transportation. l Do not transport hazardous materials.

For further details, contact the manufacturer.

2 Product Overview

This topic describes the features, numbering rules, names, types, and quantity of the CX320 ports.

The CX320 provides ports for users to operate and configure. The ports are used to send and receive data.

The CX320 Ethernet ports are numbered in the Slot number/Subcard number/Port number format.

l Slot number indicates the slot number of the current switch module. The value ranges

from 1 to 4, mapping to slot numbers 1E, 2X, 3X, and 4E.

l Subcard number indicates the number of a subcard with ports. The value ranges from 1

to 22. For details, see Table 2-2, Table 2-3, and Table 2-4.

l Port number indicates the serial number of the port on the subcard. For details, see Table

2-2, Table 2-3, and Table 2-4.

For example, if the CX320 is in slot 2X, the first optical Ethernet port on the upper right of the panel is numbered 40GE 2/20/2, as shown in Figure 2-9.
