NOTE
If congestion is detected on a port with flow control enabled, a flow control PAUSE frame is sent out
that port. The PAUSE frame is not sent out on the other port in the group.
Table 56 describes the media types and the associated maximum distances for the GM-16X 3 module.
Mini-GBIC Ports
The G16X 3 module supports any of the following mini-GBICS:
•
SX mini-GBIC
• LX mini-GBIC
•
ZX mini-GBIC
NOTE
For more information about the supported mini-GBIC types, see “Mini-GBIC Types” on page 23.
LEDs
The G16X 3 module has the following LEDs:
• Module status
• Port status
• Diagnostics
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the G16X
3
module, see “I/O Module LEDs” on
page 293.
Software Requirements
The G16X 3 module requires ExtremeWare version 7.0.1b11 or later and BootROM 7.8 or later.
Hardware Requirements
Extreme Networks recommends using iPower power supplies (part numbers 50020, 50021, 50022) with
F96Ti modules in a BlackDiamond 6800 chassis. A BlackDiamond 6800 chassis with the original power
supplies (part number 50012) will power fewer G16X
3 modules than a chassis with iPower power
supplies.
