Page 92: Common Backplane
“A shelf assembly of a Passport 20000 with one fabric removed, rear view” (page 91) The backplane of a Passport 15000 is a 20-layer printed circuit board containing 8 signal layers and 12 power/ground layers. Each processor card connects to the backplane with 4 Z-PACK connectors with a total of 658 pins per processor card slot, plus additional pins for the fabric card, MAC address module, alarm/BITS module, and the power interface modules (PIMs).
Page 93: Function Of The Common Backplane
Unilinks between the processor cards and the fabric cards to support power and signal distribution. The Passport 20000 has the 3.52 Gbits/s link capability of the Passport 15000 and adds an overlay of 16.0 Gbits/s of link capability. Only one capability is active per slot. The high-speed lines on the backplane have a nominal impedance of 50 ohm and 100 ohm differential to reduce signal ringing and reﬂections caused by impedance mismatches.
Page 94: Fabric Cards
The carrier protects the fabric card, provides EMC compliance, and provides a mechanism for inserting the card. The ﬁgure “Faceplates of both fabrics installed in a lower Passport 15000” (page 95) shows the position of the fabrics in a Passport 15000.

Page 97: Fabric Card Transportation
The method of transporting fabric cards differs between a Passport 15000 and 20000. Each fabric of a Passport 15000 is shipped in its own transportation container. The container and packaging protects the card from damage by minor impacts and electromagnetic discharges (ESD).
Page 98: Fabric Card Location And Physical Description
PPT 3087 005 AA2 Fabric card location and physical description Each Passport 15000 or 20000 shelf assembly houses two fabric cards, located one above the other at the rear of the shelf assembly. The fabric in the upper position is referred to by the software as fabric X, while the lower is fabric Y.
Page 99 Chapter 3 Shelf assembly 99 Passport 15000 fabrics In a Passport 15000 the upper and lower fabric cards are rotated 180 degrees relative to each other to minimize serial link lengths. The ﬁgure “Faceplates of both fabrics installed in a lower Passport 15000” (page 95) shows the fabrics rotated.
Page 100 Passport 20000 fabrics In a Passport 20000 the fabrics are both installed with the same way orientation. (This is different than a Passport 15000.) The fabric capacity is 112 Gbits/s each while the shelf capacity using that fabric is 70 Gbits/s. Shelf capacity is the portion that is available to trafﬁc.
Page 101: Function And Operation Of The Fabric Cards
Each one operates at about half capacity so that it can take over the trafﬁc of its mate. Either fabric can handle all trafﬁc carried by a fully provisioned and conﬁgured Passport 15000 or 20000 switch. Under normal operation, each processor card transmits to and receives from half the processors on the upper fabric (the X fabric in software) and half on the lower fabric (the Y fabric).
Page 102 Passport 15000. When the system ﬁrst detects which type of fabric it has, the system automatically: • knows how to treat the fabric, that is, as two 40Gs of a Passport 15000 or two 70Gs of a Passport 20000 •...

Fabric replacement can affect trafﬁc When both fabrics of a Passport 15000 or 20000 are in service, they operate in a load-sharing mode such that either fabric can take over all the trafﬁc of...
Page 105: Fabric Replacement Can Affect System Cooling
Removing a fabric for an extended period of time affects the cooling system’s capability to maintain a nominal temperature of operation inside the Passport 15000 or 20000. The period of time varies according to the ambient temperature of the room. See the table “Durations for replacing a fabric”...

A cable assembly distributes power from the breaker interface modules (BIMs) in the breaker interface panel (BIP) to the PIMs. The cable assemblies for the upper and lower Passport 15000 or 20000s are different lengths. The cable assemblies are installed when a Passport 15000 or 20000 is installed in a NEBS 2000 frame.

Page 112: Media Access Control (Mac) Address Module
The module contains the base MAC address and the range of MAC addresses available for assignment (based on the base address value). During the Passport 15000 or 20000 software boot sequence, the active control processor (CP) card takes the range stored in the MAC address module, divides this value by the number of functional processor (FP) cards, and distributes to each FP a base value and a range.

The types of alarm/BITS module are matched to the CP cards for the type of interfacing signal as follows. The types of the alarm/BITS module for a Passport 15000 include • NTHR12, for balanced DS1 twisted pair (matched to the DS1 CP NTHR06 or NTHW06) •...

Page 131: The Impact Of Heat Dissipation On Rising Shelf Temperatures
Since the Passport 15000 or 20000 has a rating of up to 150 watts per card slot, the air temperature rise within the shelf may be as high as 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) per card cage with the cooling unit in service.

Page 343: Using Status Indicator Leds And Sounds
Chapter 7 Using status indicator LEDs and sounds The status of hardware equipment on a Passport 15000 or 20000 switch is indicated by a system of colored and shaped LEDs. A lit LED indicates one status in one color. On the same type of part or assembly, the LED is always in the same position relative to its mates.
Page 344: Follow-Me Leds
When a lit red LED is detected on a card, the card is powered but out of service. For a card that was previously operating normally, determine if it is the only available one in the Passport 15000 or 20000 or if it has an available spare to maintain operation.
