ServerIron ADX Chassis device modules

• One front-panel DB9 console port for access to the MM

• One optional hardware-based SSL processing module. The SI-MM-2 management module is

equipped with the SSL-2 hardware-based SSL processing module.

NOTE

The auxiliary console port on the right and the ethernet ports labeled Aux1 & Aux2 are not

currently available. They are reserved for future use.

Switch Fabric Module (SFM)

Figure 10 shows the Switch Fabric Module (SFM) front panel. One SFM is required for ServerIron

ADX 4000. Two are required for ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000.

The LED on the front panel, when lit, indicates that the module is receiving power.

SSL Expansion Module

A ServerIron ADX management module can be purchased with or upgraded to provide

hardware-based, SSL acceleration. This is available through the SSL Expansion Module which is

installed onto a ServerIron ADX Management module. Figure 9 shows a Management Module (MM)

with an SSL expansion module installed.

The SSL expansion module is available in two models:

• SSL

• SSL-2

Both models provide hardware-based SSL acceleration. The only difference is that the SSL-2

module provides higher performance.

You can purchase a management module (SI-MM or SI-MM-2) with either an SSL or SSL-2

expansion module installed or upgrade either management module with an SSL expansion module

as described in “Installing an SSL Expansion module onto a management module”.

NOTE

A ServerIron ADX 10000 requires two SSL expansion modules. The active and standby management

modules should have an SSL module each.
