hardwire and network failover

Can someone explain me the complete concept of network and hardwire failover?

    Network failover -> The BIG-IP unit's in a cluster exchange HA hartbeats via one or more network connections to exchange HA status.

     

    Hardwire failover -> The 2 BIG-IP unit's in a cluster are connected via a serial cable, where one BIG-IP system continuously sends voltage to another. If a response does not initiate from one BIG-IP system, failover to the peer occurs in less than one second.

    Cheers,
