A: Technical Specifications
The monitoring line card communicates externally via one of the Ethernet ports and uses
a standard firmware that runs under VxWorks, a real-time operating system. You can
download updated firmware and receive status information via the Ethernet port.
The panel of the monitoring line card includes the following items:
•
Two Ethernet ports
•
Two Ethernet port LEDs (one LED for each Ethernet port) that illuminate green
when the ports are connected to active ports; they blink when there is traffic on the
ports
•
One status LED that illuminates green when the monitoring line card is operating
properly; it illuminates yellow when there is a fault
•
Two +12 V power bus LEDs that illuminate green when the power is on
•
One label that displays the Ethernet MAC address
Note:
The Ethernet ports are redundant; therefore, they have the same MAC
address.
Port Line Cards
The Myrinet-2000 switch contains 2 port line cards:
•
One spine port line card that contains 8 fiber ports
•
One switch port line card that contains 8 fiber ports and one 16-port crossbar
The fiber ports (via fiber cables) connect to Myrinet PCI cards that are installed in the
Origin 300 base modules. The 16-port crossbar provides links between the hosts that
connect to the fiber ports.
In Figure A-23, the switch port line card is located below the spine card.
