M3-SPINE-8F Myrinet-2000 Spine Line Card with 8 Fiber Ports |
These specifications concentrate on the physical characteristics of this product. Please see this Guide to Myrinet-2000 Switches and Switch Networks for information about the installation and the principles of operation of this family of products.
Myrinet-2000-Fiber ports (8): each 2.0+2.0 Gb/s at a front-panel LC connector to a 50/125 fiber pair up to 200m in length. Each Fiber port has a green LED: Off: not connected to an active port; On: connected; Blinking: traffic.
Myrinet-2000-SAN ports (8): each 2.0+2.0 Gb/s at the backplane interface.
Microcontroller functions: Self-test, board identification, voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring (upstream & downstream in the air flow), and status information from the SAN-Fiber conversion circuits. All status information is reported on demand through the serial link (to an M3-M monitoring line card). The µC will shut off the line-card power on over-temperature or other fault conditions. The µC controls a Status LED on the front panel: Off: not operating; Green: operating. Yellow: fault.
Power requirements: Dual +12V input power @ 3.1A (37.2W) maximum. This line card is hot-swappable.
Physical characteristics: 9U-220mm card per IEEE 1101.10, with specialized connectorization. Detail dimensional specifications are given here. Weight 20oz (570g).
Regulatory Approvals: When properly installed in a Myricom M3-E16, M3-E32, M3-E64, or M3-E128 enclosure, the line card is fully compliant with EN55024 (1998), EN55022 Class A (1998), VCCI Class A (May 1999), FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class A, CISPR 22/85 Class A, ICES-003 Class A (ANSI C63.4 1992), and AS/NZS 3548 Class A (w/A1 & A2 1997).
