Wanted to know how to use the failover port ? That port is nt seen as interface to be assigned in the HA VLAN

In the F5 5050 s box, why is there a physical failover port and how can we assign it to the HA vlan we would be creating for HA.

Yes i have read that but how do we assign that particular port as part of HA.We have two appliances and we have given it to user serial cable and not network but when we connected just that failover port.HA wasn't happening.So we have assigned one of data ports for HA and then failover and HA seems to be working.IS it a port, just for sending heartbeats to see whether other is down or not ? We cannot assign this particular anywhere in particular ?We just have to keep it connected physically ?
