Myri-10G switch line card with 16 front-panel Myrinet-protocol QSFP ports

10G-SW32LC-16QP Line Card

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

• 10G-21U-CLOS-ENCL slots 0-15 and 24-39
• 10G-12U-CLOS-ENCL slots 0-7 and 12-19
• 10G-7U-CLOS-ENCL slots 0-3 and 6-9

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

• 10G-21U-EDGE-ENCL slots 0-39
• 10G-12U-EDGE-ENCL slots 0-19
• 10G-7U-EDGE-ENCL slots 0-9

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 Myrinet-protocol QSFP (Quad Small Form factor Pluggable) sockets for QSFP-terminated EOE cables or QSFP transceivers, 10+10 Gbit/s data rate, full-duplex. Each QSFP socket provides XAUI signaling per IEEE 802.3ae, the required electrical power, and the standard QSFP management interface. The socket does not require the use of QSFP transceivers purchased from Myricom. (See this Guide to Myri-10G PHYs (pdf).)

Laser Safety: When used with QSFP transceivers, this is a Class 1M Laser Product. Do not view optical-fiber ports directly with optical instruments.

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 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, 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 31W (2.6A @ 12V) including 1.1W per QSFP transceiver (input power, including regulator efficiency). 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.
