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

Chapter 4, FPGA, on page 48

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

Chapter 4, FPGA, on page 48

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.

Table 4-7

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.
