Footnotes:
1. Can be converted to a Delivery/Experience port.
2. These ports are QSFP slots and require a QSFP module. For 10Gbps operation, install a QSFP28 to SFP+ adapter (provided). Into the adapter, install an SFP+ module (not provided). A wide range of 10GBASE PHYs (both optical and electrical) are supported.
