Your Azure Stack Edge Pro FPGA device needs a power cord that varies depending on your Azure region. For technical specifications of all the supported power cords, see Azure Stack Edge Pro FPGA power cord specifications by region.
Your Azure Stack Edge Pro FPGA device has six network interfaces, PORT1- PORT6.
Specification | Description |
---|---|
Network interfaces | 2 X 1 GbE interfaces – 1 management, not user configurable, used for initial setup. The other interface is user configurable, can be used for data transfer, and is DHCP by default. 2 X 25-GbE interfaces – These can also operate as 10-GbE interfaces. These data interfaces can be configured by user as DHCP (default) or static. 2 X 25-GbE interfaces - These data interfaces can be configured by user as DHCP (default) or static. |
The Network Adapters used are:
