Verifying 9.6 or 19.2 Gbps Backplane

To operate the BPX switch at up to a 19.2 Gbps peak throughput, the following components are required:
•
•
•
•
•
Switch software will not allow node operation at 19.2 Gpbs unless it can read the backplane NOVRAM
to verify that the backplane is a 19.2 Gbps backplane.
You can visually identify the 19.2 backplane by the small white card slot fan fuses at the bottom rear of
the backplane shown in Figure 13-6. These fan fuses are approximately 1/4 inch high and 1/8 inch wide.
The 9.6 Gbps backplane does not have these fuses.
