Color Code on 2348UPQ Fex

Hi,

I am a little confused about the coloring of the 40G QSFP+ ports on the Nexus 2348UPQ Fex.

2 of the 40G ports are yellow and 4 are gray. Why the different colors?

Documentation says it is capable of 6, 40G uplink ports.

Also, from what I understand - the 40G ports can be used for host/server connectivity? Can all of them be used for server connectivity or uplink connectivity or just the gray ones for uplink and yellow ones for server or vice versa?

Thank you, Pat

Found it -

2, yellow ports are for uplink only.

4, Gray/white are for host or uplink

So 4, 40G ports are available for servers and 6, 40G ports are available for uplinks to parent switches
