Myrinet-2000 12-Port Switch Line Card with 4 LAN-1280 Ports

This product provides a convenient way to bridge from Myrinet-2000 switches and switch networks to 2nd-generation Myrinet LAN links.

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.

Specifications

Myrinet-1280-LAN ports (4): 1.28+1.28 Gb/s or 0.64+0.64 Gb/s selected automatically at a front-panel LAN connector to a Myrinet-1280 LAN cable. Each LAN 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), XBar16 scan path, and status information from the SAN-LAN 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 @ 1.2A (14.4W) 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).
