Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Centellis 2000 User Card is an independent Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) for the Centellis
2000 system. It hosts an PHY for converting a 10 Gbps XAUI Ethernet signal to a Small Form-
factor Pluggable (SFP) connector on the face plate. It has independent power supply derived
from the 48 V and a 3.3V management supply. It supports full management access via two
IPMBs and accesses one Fabric Interface (FI) of the corresponding AdvancedTCA blade.
The Centellis 2000 User Card-10GE module is intended to be used in a CENT-2000 chassis. The
module when installed in the dedicated User Card slot provides uplink connectivity from the
payload Ethernet fabric channel.
Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram of the Centellis 2000 chassis including the two
10G User Cards in the lower part of the figure.
