Note: Interceptor software 2.0.2a, 1.2.0a or later is required to run the Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-GbE PCIe card on Interceptor 9350 platforms. Interceptor software 2.0.3 is required to run four (4) Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-GbE PCIe cards. In systems running versions prior to 2.0.3 the Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-GbE PCIe card can be installed in slots 1, 2, and 3 of the Interceptor 9350. If slot 3 is populated with a Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-GbE PCIe card then slot 4 must remain empty.
Note: It is not necessary to plug in the 12 volt connector of the Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-GbE PCIe card.

The interface names for the NICs in the SteelHead Management Console and the CLI are a combination of the slot number and the port pairs (lan<slot>_<pair>, wan<slot>_<pair>). For example, if a four-port NIC is located in slot 1 of your system, the interface names are lan1_0, wan1_0, lan1_1, and wan1_1 respectively.
Note: In a 1U appliance the LAN and WAN ports are numbered in ascending order (such as 0, 1, 2) from left to right.
Note: In a 3U appliance the LAN and WAN ports are numbered in ascending order (such as 0, 1, 2) from bottom to top.
The following table describes the Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10-Gigabit Ethernet PCIe card status and LED lights.
LED | Condition |
Link | Solid green on link. |
Activity | Blinks green on activity. |
Bypass/Fail-to-Block (Disconnect) | Solid green in bypass mode. Solid yellow in disconnect mode. |
