Chapter 13 Installing the BPX Switch Cards
Verifying 9.6 or 19.2 Gbps Backplane
Figure 13-5 Installing a Back Card
Verifying 9.6 or 19.2 Gbps Backplane
To operate the BPX switch at up to a 19.2 Gbps peak throughput, the following components are required:
•
A 19.2 Gbps backplane.
•
BCC-4V or later controller cards.
•
One or more BXM cards.
•
Release 8.4.18 or later switch software.
•
A backplane NOVRAM that is programmed to identify the backplane as a 19.2 Gbps backplane.
Switch software will not allow node operation at 19.2 Gpbs unless it can read the backplane NOVRAM
to verify that the backplane is a 19.2 Gbps backplane.
You can visually identify the 19.2 backplane by the small white card slot fan fuses at the bottom rear of
the backplane shown in Figure 13-6. These fan fuses are approximately 1/4 inch high and 1/8 inch wide.
The 9.6 Gbps backplane does not have these fuses.
