5.21.3.1 GBIC
Ports
There are sockets for four-gigabit interface converters (GBICs) each with
Class-1 Laser, 1310 nm (single-mode) or 850 nm (multi-mode) fiber optic
transceivers. The fiber optic connectors on the rear of the module are SC-
style for connecting to an Ethernet network. Below each set of connectors
is a status LED indicator. Refer to
for a description of the
LED.
5.21.3.2 Ethernet
Transceivers
The Quad 1000BASE-SX Ethernet module has a quad gigabit Ethernet
transceiver that interfaces to the front Ethernet Network Adapter module
via eight (two per port) eight-bit data buses and the midplane connector.
A management bus also links the transceivers of the rear module to the
Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC).
5.21.3.3 Power
The Quad 1000BASE-SX Ethernet Interface module receives its power
from the front Ethernet Network Adapter.
