Myricom 10G-THRU-16M Specifications

The 10G-THRU-16M line card does not contain a switch, but instead connects the 16 front-panel 10GBase-CX4 ports directly to the 16 backplane XAUI ports. Its only allowed use is paired with a switch line card (10G-SW32LC-*) 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 port-line-card slots.

Specifications:

Front-panel network ports: 16 Myrinet-protocol 10GBase-CX4 ports on mini-CX4 (DensiShield) connectors, 10+10 Gbit/s data rate, full-duplex. (See this Guide to Myri-10G PHYs (pdf).)

Port labeling: The front-panel ports are labeled 16-31 corresponding to the port numbering of the switch with which this line card is paired.

Microcontroller functions: Self-test, board identification, voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring upstream & downstream in the air flow, and port monitoring and control. 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 30W (2.5A @ 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), and weight is 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).
