SFP+ Status Signals
The SFP+ status signals, MOD_ABS, TX_FAULT and LOS, are individually connected to the
corresponding BCM8727 which monitors them. The signals are also connected to the RTM
FPGA to allow fast detection of a loss of signal condition. Refer to
for further details.
4.4.6.3
SFP Control Signals
The SFP+ TX_DISABLE signals are individually connected to the corresponding BCM8727 which
drives them under software control.
The RS0 and RS1 rate select signals from each SFP+ are individually connected to the RTM FPGA
that allows them to be controlled by software. Refer to
for further
details.
4.4.6.4
PHY Management Interfaces
The BCM8727 provides a single MDC/MDIO management port to access both channels and
allows bit 0 of the PHY address for each channel to be individually programmed, with bits 1 - 4
being common.
shows the address allocation and management port definition for
each channel.

10Gbps Fabric Ports
The RTM-ATCA-F140 provides four 10Gbps SFP+ module sites connected to the fabric switch
on the front blade.
