1. Introduction
1.1 Board Overview
The XMC401 Dual SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet module is an XMC mezzanine card designed for
use with compliant carrier boards or CPU boards which support XMC modules with PCI Ex-
press 2.0 interconnection. The XMC401 incorporates a very flexible design which allows simple
and easy integration of 10 Gigabit Ethernet functionality to any compliant system.
The XMC401 provides wire-speed, dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput and is equipped
with one dual-channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller (Intel® 82599) and two SFP+ cages on
the front panel for connection to SFP+ direct attach copper cables or SFP+ optical transceivers.
Carrier interfacing is provided by one XMC connector supporting PCI Express 2.0 (5 GT/s) with
x8 lanes.
The XMC401 is supplied with two SFP+ cages as receptacles for direct attach copper cables
or SFP+ optic transceivers. SFP+ direct attach copper cables or SFP+ optical transceivers are
no part of this product.
