6. The next step is to identify the various ports at the back of the device. There are two device nodes, **NODE1** and **NODE2**. Each node has four network interfaces, **MGMT**, **DATA1**, **DATA2**, **DATA3**. **MGMT** is used to configure management during the initial configuration of the device. **DATA1**-**DATA3** are data ports. **MGMT** and **DATA3** ports are 1 Gbps, whereas **DATA1**, **DATA2** can work as 40-Gbps ports or 10-Gbps ports. At the bottom of the two device nodes, are four power supply units (PSUs) that are shared across the two device nodes. As you face this device, the **PSUs** are **PSU1**, **PSU2**, **PSU3**, and **PSU4** from left to right.
