Chapter 5 Ethernet Modules; Sbm-Gem-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module; Figure 5-1. Sbm-Gem-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module; Table 5-1. Sbm-Gem-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Interface - Supermicro SBM-GEM-X2C+ User Manual

Your SuperBlade enclosure can include either of several models of Ethernet switch
modules or of Ethernet pass-through modules installed in it.
The Ethernet switch modules and pass-through modules can only be installed in the
upper and/or lower left module bays, whereas the SBM-XEM-002/M 10-Gigabit
pass-through module must be installed in a double-wide slot in the enclosure in a
location alternately used for the InfiniBand switch module. The InfiniBand module is
discussed in Chapter
5-1

SBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module

The SBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2 Ethernet switch. It
includes ten 1-Gb/s uplink (RJ45) ports and fourteen 1-Gb/s downlink ports for the
SuperBlade'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
