The NetScaler SDX 15000-50G appliance has the following ports:
- One RS232 Serial Console Port.
- One 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ45 copper Ethernet lights out management port. Use this port to remotely monitor and manage the appliance independently of the NetScaler software.
- Two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 copper Ethernet Management Ports, numbered 0/1 and 0/2. These ports are used to connect directly to the appliance for NetScaler administration functions.
- Eight 10G SFP+ Ethernet ports, numbered 10/1 to 10/8. Each port has its own LED.
- Four 50G ports, numbered 50/1 to 50/4. Each port has its own LED. For information about supported transceivers per port, see 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G ports.

The back panel of the SDX 15000-50G appliance has the following components:
-
Two 240 GB RAID-supported removable boot solid-state drives (SSDs), (slots 1 and 2) as shown in figure 2. Two 240 GB RAID-supported removable storage repositories (slots 3 and 4 paired) SSDs, and four 480 GB storage repositories (slots 5–6 paired and 7–8 paired) SSDs.
Note: Drive densities might increase as components become EOL but its size is never smaller than the original.
-
A power switch, which turns power to the appliance on or off. If the OS is functional, press the switch for less than two seconds to power down the system with a graceful shutdown. If the OS is not responsive, press the power switch for more than 4 seconds to force the power off.
-
Two hot-swappable 100–240 VAC input power supply modules. Each power supply has an LED indicating its status, as shown in the following table.
| LED Color | LED Indicates |
|---|---|
| OFF | No power to any power supply in the appliance. |
| Flashing RED | No power to this power supply module. |
| Flashing GREEN | Power supply is in standby mode. |
| GREEN | Power supply is functional. |
| RED | Power supply failure. |
| Flashing RED and GREEN | Warning (OVP/UVP/OCP/OTP/Fan); OVP = Over Voltage Protection; UVP = Under Voltage Protection; OTP = Over Temperature Protection. |
- A Disable alarm button, which is functional only when the appliance has dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies. Press this button to silence the power alarm when one of the two power supplies loses input power or when a power supply is malfunctioning.
- A Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) button, used at the request of Technical Support to initiate a core dump. To press this red button, which is recessed to prevent unintentional activation, use a pen, pencil, or other pointed object. The NMI Button is also available remotely over the network in the LOM GUI, in the Remote Control menu.
