Configuring the MXS924 switch
The MXS924 shipping default is NTB six nodes x16. You need to follow the description below to enable other NTB
configurations or PCIe transparent IO configurations.
The MXS924 comes with a Web GUI for monitoring temperature, fan speed, port monitoring and switch configuration
management. This documentation covers the 1.6.0 version of the Management firmware.
The GUI currently consist of three sections, all easily accessible by the top menu or by scrolling down the page.
Status section
The status section provides real-time data from the firmware, fans and temperature sensors. Please note that there are 4
fans connected to the switch. The four should be close to 8000 RPM when the switch operates at normal room
temperatures.
New switches are delivered with the standard NTB 6 port x16 link width configuration active, unless you have a specialized
order with a different configuration pre-programmed.
The switch’ active configuration is shown under «Firmware» below
the «Status» section of the Web GUI as highlighted in the picture above.
PCIe Configuration section
The PCIe Configuration section enables the user to change the active configuration, upload new Dolphin provided
configurations, erase uploaded configurations and to perform a reset of the PFX switch.
Unless otherwise specified, the switch is delivered with a standard set of configurations for NTB and Transparent
operation. The available selections will appear in the menu.
