MBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module

The MBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2 Ethernet switch. It
includes eight 10-Gb/s uplink (SFP+) ports and fifty-six 1/2.5-Gb/s downlink ports for the
MicroBlade's LAN interfaces. The Gigabit Ethernet switch module has two internal
Ethernet paths to the CMM(s). The switch is used to provide a connection between the
Ethernet controller integrated on the mainboard and an external Ethernet device. This is
a hot-pluggable module. See
