Figure 1-29.Citrix NetScaler MPX 5500, back panel

The following components are visible on the back panel of the MPX 5500:

wFour GB removable CompactFlash card that is used to store the NetScaler software.

wPower switch, which turns off power to the MPX 5500, just as if you were to unplug the power supply. Press the switch for five seconds to turn off the power.

wRemovable hard-disk drive (HDD) that is used to store user data. Appliances shipped before February, 2012 store user data on a HDD. In appliances shipped after February, 2012, a solid-state drive replaces the HDD. Both types of drive have the same functionality and support the same software releases.

wUSB port (reserved for a future release).

wNon-maskable interrupt (NMI) Button that is used at the request of Technical Support and produces a core dump on the NetScaler. You must use a pen, pencil, or other pointed object to press this red button, which is recessed to prevent unintentional activation.

wPower supply rated at 300 watts, 110-220 volts. The power-supply fan is designed to turn on only when the internal temperature of the power supply reaches a certain value. You cannot see the fan turning on the back panel. What you can see is the fixed part of the fan that holds the spinning motor.
