A typical connection diagram for **x86 server hardware**:

{{ dpi:dpi_brief:install_point_ssg:equipment_scheme.png?nolink&1200 |}}

Cards with [[dpi:dpi_brief:dpi_requirements#minimum_requirements|10/25/40/100 network ports]] are placed in **slots 1-10**\\
Each slot has a unique PCIe bus identifier, e.g. **02:00**.\\
Each port has a unique identifier on the card, e.g: **02:00.0, 02:00.1, 02:00.2, 02:00.3**.\\

**Example of interfaces orientation in pairs:**
<code>
   # In, to the subscriber side - port 02:00.0, 02:00.2
in_dev=02:00.0:02:00.2
   # Out, to the Internet side - port 02:00.1, 02:00.3
out_dev=02:00.1:02:00.3
</code>

Port configuration is described in the section [[dpi:dpi_components:platform:dpi_config|DPDK Interfaces Configuration]].

Ports **mg0, mg1** are used for SSH management, IPFIX sending (Full flow, NAT log, ClickStream), integration with Radius/PCRF . For fault tolerance, they are combined in LAG.

The **bmc** port is used to connect to the BMC server controller.

Each server has two power supplies **psu1, psu2** for power redundancy.
