• Unmanaged layer 2 switch
• Automatic address learning and aging
• 256 kB on-chip packet buffer
• Low power consumption
• MCH interconnection:
• 12 Gigabit Ethernet SerDes connections in Fabric [A]
• 12 IPMB-L interfaces
• One I²C to Carrier FRU
• Two IPMB-0 interfaces
• Full hot swap support
• Four Gigabit Ethernet ports on front I/O routed to the Fabric [A] switch (two of them are
switchable to SFP)
• One Ethernet port on front I/O
for management purposes
• One serial port on front I/O (RS-232)
• JTAG interface for debugging and manufacturing purposes
• 3 Module LEDs
• 12 Fabric [A] Link LEDs
