 ## Back overview:
 
 ![Back Ports](./img/ports-back.webp)
 
+### SFP Port Information:
+
+- When ordering Thelio Astra, options for one or two 10GbE RJ-45 transceivers preinstalled into the 25GbE SFP port(s) are offered.
+    - No transceivers are installed in the photo above.
+
+### Unit Identification (UID) Button Guide:
+
+- Pressing the button toggles the blue identification light on and off.
+    - The light can also be toggled remotely using the baseboard management controller (BMC).
+- Holding the button for more than 4 seconds resets the baseboard management controller (BMC) to default settings.
+    - After resetting the BMC using this method, it may be necessary to power cycle the Thelio Astra before the BMC becomes reachable again.
+
+### PCIe Slot Information:
+
+- The top two PCIe slots run at x16 bandwidth with Altra Max processor options, and run at x8 bandwidth with Altra (non-Max) processor options.
+
