10G ports: Use these connectors to connect the controller to a network. The 10G connectors provide 
interface for 10 Gb SFP+ transceivers. When you use the Service Port connector, the network can 
be shared with the IMM through a single network cable. See additional notes about the IMM 
configuration and access for details.

Power supply 1 is the default/primary power supply. If power supply 1 fails, you must replace it

DC-powered units, use 12G wires (customer-supplied) and connect to the DC power supply.

of the controller can be used simultaneously.
