SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 Gateway Overview
The SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways offer enterprise-class SD-WAN for large-scale deployments.
This chapter includes the following sections:

SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateway components
The SteelConnect SDI-5030 gateway is a 1U gateway that offers high throughput and support for complex networks. The SteelConnect SDI-2030 gateway is a 1U gateway targeted for small enterprise deployments where the SDI-5030 gateway is too large. The SDI-2030 gateway can also serve as a branch office appliance that has high throughput requirements.
The SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways ship with a preinstalled Four-Port 1-GbE copper base-T network interface card (NIC) located in the Intel I/O module bay. The SDI-5030 ships with a preinstalled offload compression card in riser-card slot 2. You can install additional NICs in riser-card slot 1 on the SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways.
The SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateways support up to four replaceable, hot-swappable, 3.5-inch hard-disk drives (HDD). The HDDs, VGA port, USB ports, and control panel are located on the front panel of the gateway shown in Front panel.

Components
Description
Power supply 1 and 2
Supplies power to the gateway.
Riser-card slot 1
PCIe expansion slot.
Riser-card slot 2
Not configurable.
VGA
DB15 access port used for video connectivity.
Serial
RJ45 access port for communication input and output.
USB
Three stacked ports that are 2.0 and 3.0 compatible.
Ports 1 to 4 (SDI-5030)
Preinstalled with Four-Port 1-GbE Copper Base-T NIC.
Port 1 reserved for SCM communication; port 2 reserved for cluster communication. The remaining ports are general purpose.
Ports 1 to 4 (SDI-2030)
Preinstalled with Four-Port 1-GbE Copper Base-T NIC.
Upon bootstrap, port 1 reserved for high availability (HA) and all remaining ports are used as uplinks. After the appliance establishes communication with SCM, any port can be used as either an HA port or an uplink (WAN) port.
Ports 5 and 6
Support for 10-GbE NICs.
Ports 7 to 10
Support for additional NICs.
SteelConnect SDI-2030 and SDI-5030 gateway LEDs

Control panel descriptions
LED description
System ID button with integrated LED
Maintenance = blue.
Turns the integrated ID LED and the blue server board ID LED on and off. The ID LED identifies the gateway for maintenance when installed in a rack of similar appliances. You can also turn on and turn off the ID LED remotely by using the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) chassis identify command, which causes the LED to blink for 15 seconds.
A duplicate system ID LED is on the back of the gateway to the left of the video port.
NMI button (recessed, tool required for use)
Puts the gateway in a halt state and issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI). This state helps when performing diagnostics for a given issue where a memory download is necessary to determine the cause of the problem. To prevent an inadvertent system halt, the NMI button is located behind the front control panel faceplate and is only accessible with the use of a small tipped tool such as a pin or paper clip.
NIC 1 activity LED (port 6 activity LED)
Maps to port 6 on the rear panel.
Link = green.
Activity = blinking green. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
System cold reset button (recess, tool required for use)
Reboots the gateway.
System status LED
Shows the current health of the server system.
Healthy = green.
Degraded = yellow.
Critical = blinking yellow.
Power button with integrated LED
System on = green.
System off = no light.
Hard drive activity LED
Activity = blinking green.
NIC 2 activity LED (port 5 activity LED)
Maps to port 5 on the rear panel.
Link = green.
Activity = blinking green. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
