Operation The 9F241-12 module, as shown in Figure 3-1, provides concentrator ports that connect directly to the FNB bus. Each port can connect to either ring (FNB-1 or FNB-2). This is software configurable via local or remote management. DC/DC Converter...
Operation System Management Buses There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter- module management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.
SmartSwitch 9000 modules are designed with one of two attachment policies. One allows dual attachment of a module to either FNB-1 or FNB-2; the second allows dual attachment to both FNB-1 and FNB-2. The 9F241-12 module has a dual attachment to the FNB backplane, connecting to both FNB-1 and FNB-2. The module can insert into the FNB or bypass it.
The front panel LANVIEW LEDs indicate the status of the module and may be used as an aid in troubleshooting. Shown in Figure 4-1 is the LANVIEW LEDs of the concentrator modules. FNB Receive FNB Transmit FDDI 9F241-12 Figure 4-1. The LANVIEW LEDs Chapter 4 System Status and CPU FDDI Port...
