# Thelio Astra (External Overview)

## 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.

### Power Switch Guide:

- 1: On
- 0: Off
