SteelHead CX xx70 Appliance Specifications
This appendix describes the ports, LEDs, and the technical and environmental specifications for the xx70 appliances. It includes these sections:
•  CX3070 specifications
•  CX5070 and CX7070 specifications
CX3070 specifications
This section describes the ports, LEDs, and technical and environmental specifications.
Port location and LEDs
These figures illustrate the port locations, LEDs, and buttons.
Figure: CX3070 front panel with LEDs and buttons
Figure: CX3070 back panel
Note: By default, the SteelHead CX3070 ships with a bypass card in slot 3. The default interface names are LAN3_0, WAN3_0, LAN3_1, and WAN3_1. This appliance doesn’t have an inpath0_0 interface as found on earlier appliances and by default the CX3070 uses inpath3_0 and inpath3_1.
This table summarizes the appliance LEDs and buttons.
Reference
LED/button
Description
1
System ID Button with Integrated LED
Maintenance = Blue
Toggles the integrated ID LED and the blue server board ID LED on and off. The System ID LED identifies the system for maintenance when installed in a rack of similar server systems. You can also remotely turn on and turn off the System ID LED using the IPMI “Chassis Identify” command which causes the LED to blink for 15 seconds.
A duplicate System ID LED is on the back of the appliance to the left of the video port.
2
NMI Button
Pressing the NMI button puts the appliance in a halt state and issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI). This 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.

Link = Green
Activity = Blinks Green. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
The appliance doesn’t use the LEDs 4 and 9 shown in Figure: CX5070 and CX7070 front panel with LEDs and buttons.
5
System Cold Reset Button
Pressing this button reboots the appliance.
6
System Status LED
The System Status LED shows the current health of the server system.
Healthy = Green
Degraded = Yellow
Critical = Blinks Yellow
A duplicate System ID LED is on the back of the appliance to the right of the AUX port.

Activity = Blinks Green
Speed/Bypass/Disconnect LED
1000Mbit/s = Yellow
100Mbit/s = Green
10Mbit/s = Off
Bypass = Blinks Green
Disconnect = Blinks Yellow
 
LEDs on Power Supply
Power On and Healthy = Green
Power Off = Off
Standby = Blinks Green
Power Lost But Second Power Supply Has Power = Amber
Power On With Warning Events (high temperature, high power, high current, slow fan) = Blinks Amber
