10G-SW32LC-16EM Line Card

The 10G-SW32LC-16EM is for use as a "leaf" or "port" line card in these switch enclosures:

It may also be used paired with a 10G-THRU line card in these switch enclosures:

The 4 alignment pins for insertion into the enclosure backplanes are keyed to allow use of this line card only in these slots.

Specifications:

Front-panel network ports: 16 10GBase-CX4 ports on mini-CX4 (DensiShield) connectors, 10+10 Gbit/s data rate, full-duplex. The front-panel ports operate with Ethernet protocols at the Data Link layer, and support Ethernet flow control as defined by IEEE 802.3x. (See this Guide to Myri-10G PHYs (pdf).)

Backplane ports: 16 Myrinet-protocol XAUI ports to the backplane.

Switch: Myri-10G XBar32 32-port switch with 110ns path-formation latency. Switch ports 0-15 connect through Ethernet-Myrinet bridging circuitry to the front-panel ports as labeled. Switch ports 16-31 connect to the backplane ports.

Microcontroller functions: Self-test, board identification, voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring upstream & downstream in the air flow, transceiver monitoring and control, initialization and monitoring of the 16 Lanai-2ZS network processors used for Ethernet-Myrinet bridging, and XBar32 scan path functions including port status, packet counts, and error counts. All status information is reported on demand through the serial link to a 10G-MONITOR-B monitoring line card. The µC will shut off the line-card power except for the µC section on over-temperature (greater than 55C) or other fault conditions.

Status LED: Located in the middle of the front panel: Off: not operating. Flashing Green: Initializing. Green: operating. Yellow: fault.

Power requirements: +12V input power from the backplane power connector. Maximum power used is 70W (5.8A @ 12V). The line card is hot-swappable.

Physical characteristics: Width is ~17 inches (432mm); depth is ~14 inches (356mm); height at the front panel is 0.8 inches (20.3mm). Weight 0.9kg (2 pounds).

Environmental: Operating: Temperature 0C to 55C up to 10,000 foot altitude. Relative humidity 15% to 80% @ 50C, non-condensing. Storage: Temperature -40C to 70C. Relative humidity 90% @ 65C.

Regulatory Approvals: Fully compliant with EN55024 (1998 w/A1: 2001 & A2: 2003), EN55022 (1998) Class A, AS/NZS 3548 (1005 W/A1 & A2: 97) Class A, CISPR 22 (1997) Class A, FCC Part 15 Subpart B Section 15.109 Class A, VCCI (April 2000) Class A, & ICES-003 Class A (ANSI C63.4 1992). See the Index of Myri-10G Regulatory Reports.

Reduction of Hazardous Substances: This product is RoHS-compliant under the server exemption.
