Reliability
The NE40E-X8 has three SFUs. Two SFUs are integrated on two SRUs. Another SFU, is a
separate SFU. These three SFUs work in 2+1 load balancing mode.The three SFUs load
balance services at the same time. When one SFU is faulty or being replaced, the other two
SFUs automatically take over its tasks to ensure normal delivery of services, thus improving
system reliability.
