Architectural Overview

The ESM provides networking and switch functions to the compute modules. Each compute
module is capable of accessing up to two ESMs through point-to-point links across
the midplane.
The ESM has ten (10) 1000BaseT external links to the outside, two (2) internal 10 Gbps XAUI
links (one to the other ESM and one to the storage controller), twelve (12) internal point-to-point
1Gbps serializer/deserializer (SerDes) links (two to each compute module), one point-to-point
internal 10/100 Mbps link to the CMM, and one I²C interface to the CMM (for the CMM to
configure and control the ESM).
