SteelFusion Edge Overview : 1U SteelFusion Edge Appliances
  
1U SteelFusion Edge Appliances
The SteelFusion Edge 2100 and SteelFusion Edge 2200 appliances are 1U appliances that can provide WAN optimization, BlockStream-enabled storage, and hypervisor functionality. (See Figure: 1U SteelFusion Edge Appliance (Front View).) They support two independent nodes with its own management and monitoring. The appliances have four disk drive slots that are numbered 0 to 3. (See Figure: 1U SteelFusion Edge Disk Slot Numbers (Front View).) The appliances also support different combinations of network interface cards (NIC) that can be installed in the back of the appliance. (See Figure: 1U SteelFusion Edge Appliance Port Labels (Back View).) Slot 0 on the back of the appliance ships with NIC-2-001G-4TX-BP installed and is used for RiOS functionality while slot 2 can support an additional NIC also to be used for RiOS or as a bypass card.
Note: For detailed information on the cards supported for the SteelFusion Edge slot configuration, see Supported NICs for SteelFusion Edge Appliances.

Port
Description
HYP COM
HYP serial RJ45 COM port manages the hypervisor node. Serial settings: 9600 bps, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity.
LAN1.0, WAN1.0, LAN1.1, WAN1.1
Provides access to the 10/100/1000 Base-TX.
• The LAN port connects the system to a LAN switch.
• A WAN port connects the system to the WAN router.
Power Supply
Supplies power to the appliance.
USB 1, USB 2
Optional USB ports for hypervisor connectivity.
gbe0_0, gbe0_1, gbe0_2, gbe0_3
1 Gbps interfaces used for hypervisor connectivity.
VGA
DB15 connector used for hypervisor video connectivity.
PRI
(Primary)
The management interface that connects the SteelFusion Edge to a LAN switch. This management interface enables you to connect to the Management Console and the SteelFusion Edge CLI. The primary and auxiliary ports cannot share the same network subnet.
AUX
(Auxiliary)
An optional port that provides an additional management interface for a secondary network. The primary and auxiliary ports cannot share the same network subnet.
eth0_0, eth0_1
Data interfaces that support the use of iSCSI, BlockStream heartbeat, and BlockStream sync.
RiOS COM
RiOS serial RJ45 COM port manages the RiOS node. Serial setting: 9600 bps, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity.
