Identify the ports on Generation 5.5 hardware and connect those cables.

Generation 5.5 hardware contains management ports so they can be managed from Trellix ESM. The following images identify the management and collection ports.

Caution

Do not connect cables to ports not labeled for a specific purpose.

Trellix ESM

The port assignments are as shown:

  1. Management 1

  2. Management 2

  3. VGA video

  4. Data (not used)

  5. MGMT

Note

For 1U chassis, you must use the VGA port for monitor as the DisplayPort is not supported.
