RS/6000 SP and Clustered IBM

pSeries Systems Handbook
For upgrades to greater than eight node support, the SP Switch-8 is replaced by
the 16 port SP Switch (F/C 4011). The SP Switch uses a similar network
topology, proprietary protocol and communication physical layer as the SP
Switch-8.
5.5 SP Switch adapter (F/C 4020, 4022, and 4023)
If you plan to use a switch in your SP system, you will need a switch adapter to
connect each RS/6000 SP node to the switch subsystem. SP Switches use
either the SP Switch adapter (F/C 4020) for MCA-type nodes or the SP Switch
MX Adapter (F/C 4022) or SP Switch MX2 Adapter (F/C 4023) for PCI-type
nodes. One switch adapter is needed for each node in the SP system. Table 5-2
shows the SP Switch adapter features.
Table 5-2 SP Switch adapter features
Note:
The SP-attached server, Clustered Enterpise Servers, and POWER3 High
Nodes cannot be attached to the SP Switch-8.
Attention:
The SP Switch MX adapter (F/C 4022) has been withdrawn from
production. This adapter has been replaced with the SP Switch MX2
adapter (F/C 4023).
High Performance Switch adapters are not compatible with any of the SP
Switch adapters. These adapters cannot coexist in the same system
configuration.
