5-5 SBM-XEM-002/M 10-Gb Ethernet Pass-through
Module
The SBM-XEM-002/M, and the newer SBM-XEM0-002M 10-Gigabit pass-through
modules are non-configurable pass through modules that includes 14 (fourteen) 10-Gb/
s uplink (SFP+) ports and 14 10-Gb/s internal downlink (XAUI) ports for the
SuperBlade's LAN interfaces.
The SBM-XEM-002/M 10-Gigabit pass-through module includes connectors and
circuitry that allow the installation of an optional mini-CMM module (BMB-CMM-002).
See the SuperBlade User’s Manual for information on the installation and operation of
the mini-CMM module. The RJ45 connector is used for console connection to the
mini-CMM module.
The SBM-XEM-002/M 10-Gigabit pass-through module must be installed in a
double-wide slot in the enclosure. It is installed in a location that is alternately used for
the InfiniBand switch module. See the
SuperBlade User’s Manual for details.
Unlike the SBM-GEM-001 or SBM-GEM-X2C(+) Ethernet switch modules, this is a
pass-through module, and just like the
SBM-GEM-002 1-Gb Ethernet Pass-through
Module model described above, it is not configurable.
With this module Blade 1 would be connected directly to port 1, Blade 2 to port 2 and so
on. If you are connected to 10 blades then ports 11 through 14 are not connected.
Temperature and voltage of the pass-through module are read through the CMM
module. The LED’s of the pass-through for a blade are only lit when the blade is on. Like
the other switches, this pass-through module is a hot-pluggable module. See
Figure 5-5 ,
Table 5-12 and Table 5-13 for switch details.

NOTE: For any blade to access the 10-Gigabit pass-through module, it must
first have one of the Connect-X based add-on InfiniBand cards installed on its
mainboard (AOC-IBH-XDS or AOC-IBH-XDD, AOC-IBH-XDS, AOC-IBH-XDD
or AOC-IBH-XDS or AOC-IBH-XDD cards). See
Appendix A for details on the
AOC cards.
