Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 User Manual page 17

Ethernet Connection Blade Module are designed for the Primergy new generation Blade Sever System.
There are three type connection blades as follow:
a) SB11 is a 46-port 1GbE with 2 10GbE SFP+ uplinks Layer-2+ stackable Ethernet Connection Blade.
The Ethernet Connection Blade configuration is 36 downlink ports to mid-plane and 8 1GbE with
RJ45 connectors and 2 10GbE SFP+ for uplink ports. In the BX400 Blade Server System only up to
32 of the 36 downlink ports are utilized. The full 36 downlink ports will be used in BX900 system
environment only. There are two HiGig/HiGig+ ports, one is connected to mid-plane, and the other is
on the rear panel of the Ethernet Connection Blade providing the stacking function. The Stacking
module will support to connect up to 8 SB11 devices.

b) SB11a is a 48-port 1GbE with 4 1GbE SFP uplinks Layer-2+ Ethernet Connection Blade. The
Ethernet Connection Blade configuration is 36 downlink ports to mid-plane and 8 1GbE with RJ45
connectors and 4 1GbE SFP for uplink ports. In the BX400 Blade Server System only up to 32 of the
36 downlink ports are utilized. The full 36 downlink ports will be used in BX900 system environment
only.

c) SB6 is a 24-port 1GbE Layer-2+ Ethernet Connection Blade. The Ethernet Connection Blade
configuration is 18 downlink ports to mid-plane and 6 1GbE with RJ45 connectors for uplink ports. In the
BX400 Blade Server System, 16 of the 18 downlink ports provide the dual LAN Ethernet connectivity for
each of eight server blades. The remaining 2 downlink ports will be used in BX900 system environment
only.

The terminal connection to the device is provided through the MMB board only. For debugging and
management purposes, a UART bus of the Ethernet Connection Blade Module is connected to the MMB
board. The MMB board can select for management only one connection blade at a time. The Ethernet
Connection Blade Module also provides a in-band management interface for MMB management
purpose.
