• In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB
. .
. .
option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fibre optic
. .
. .
cable. The fibre optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected
. .
in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from
. .
. .
the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI
. .
. .
slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB
. .
controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a
. .
. .
slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fibre optic connections.
. .
. .
• The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to 8 fibre optic connections. Two standard
. .
. .
length, single-mode fibre optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally
. .
provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building
. .
. .
Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fibre optic connectivity is completely transparent to
. .
. .
the systems using it and has no performance impact.

MEMORY CHANNEL (Requirements for Currently Installed AlphaServer 8400 systems)
. .
. .
• Console firmware at revision V2.3 or higher
. .
. .
• CCMAA-BA adapter must be installed in slots 0-7 of a DWLPA-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI; no restriction for
. .
DWLPB-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI bus
. .
. .
• For two system nodes, order one CCMAA-BA per system and one BC12N-10 cable to connect them.
. .
. .
• For three or more system nodes, order CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) one CCMAA-BA and one
. .
. .
BC12N-10 cable per system node.
. .
. .
• CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) is configured with four CCMLA-AA Line Cards and supports up to four
. .
. .
nodes. Expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLA-AA Line
. .
Cards, except TruCluster Production Server configurations
