Mapping to interconnect ports
Several port types are referenced in the following tables.
•
Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules and Fibre Channel interconnect
modules.
•
An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)
•
Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect modules.
NOTE:
port mezzanine cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.
The term "1x/2x" refers to the number of interconnect lanes per port provided by the controller. The more
lanes provided per port, the higher the data transmission rate coming from that port.
1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with single-wide interconnect modules. 4x
