SwitchBlade x8100 Series | System Overview
■ SBx81CFC960 (Controller Fabric Card)
■ SBx81CFC400 (Controller Fabric Card)
■ SBx81GT24 (24 x 10/100/1000T Line Card)
■ SBx81GT40 (40 x 10/100/1000T RJ.5 Line Card)
■ SBx81GP24 (24 x 10/100/1000T PoE+ Line Card)
■ SBx81GS24a (24 x 100/1000 SFP Line Card)
■ SBx81XS6 (6 x 10Gbps (SFP+) Line Card)
Note: The SwitchBlade x8100 Series shares hardware design with
the Layer-2 SwitchBlade x3100 Series chassis. To ensure no possible
conflicts if an incorrect card is installed - if a SwitchBlade x3100 line
card is put into a SwitchBlade x8100 chassis it will not power up,
and is held in reset.
As shown above the CFC400 control card includes a standard
RS-232 asynchronous port, and an Ethernet port for out of
band management. It also includes a USB connector, allowing
the easy transfer of files and additional storage as required (the
USB connector supports USB storage devices only). Centralised
LEDs provide status of all 12 card slots, along with CFC, PSU
and fan tray.
In keeping with our commitment to environmentally friendly
processes and products, the SwitchBlade x8100 Series
is designed to reduce power consumption and minimize
hazardous waste. Features include the use of high efficiency
power supplies and low power chip sets. The CFC400 also
include an ECO-Switch button on the front panel
allowing conservation of additional power by
turning off all diagnostic LED indicators across the
chassis when they are not required.
The name CFC400 is derived from the fact that these control
cards will provide 40 gigabits bandwidth per line card slot.
40Gbps x 10 line card slots (SBx8112) = 400Gbps (CFC400)
SwitchBlade x8112 with dual CFC400 = 800Gbps switching fabric.
SwitchBlade x8106 with dual CFC400 = 320Gbps switching fabric.
