3.2 Traffic Service Ports
Up to twelve service ports are provided with SFP+ receptacles. Either a fiber optic cable or a copper
cable with a mating SFP+ connector can be used to connect the RTM with remote blades or
appliances. The SFP+ ports support IEEE 802.3ae (Clause 52), IEEE 802.3aq (Clause 68). The
different port types supported include 10GBASE-SR. Use of SFP modules in place of SFP+ is also
possible. The RTM offers auto detection capability to configure the module automatically upon
plugging in.
3.3 LEDs and Markers
Various LEDs for system status monitoring are available on the faceplate. Three mandatory LEDs
include Power GOOD, OOS, and Hot-Swap per ATCA specifications. Other LEDs include link
indication LEDs for service port activities associated with the service ports. Shown in Table 3-1 are
the LEDs, their labels and their descriptions.
