Examples of Use
Interconnect Between Two Nodes
A Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Full Kit component is only used to link two PCI nodes with
a single Gigabit Ethernet link without switch.
Interconnect of Three Up to Eight Nodes
The Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit components and Gigabit Ethernet Switch
component are used together to set up a Gigabit Ethernet–based interconnect between
more than two PCI nodes:
• There are as many Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit components as nodes to be
interconnected, and there is a Gigabit Ethernet Switch (DCUG003) for a 1Gbps Ethernet
interconnect.
• For each node, the Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Base Kit corresponding to the node
type is used.
• A Gigabit Ethernet crossed cable (CBLG161–1900) is automatically generated for linking
the two nodes. This means that the two Gigabit Ethernet cables (CBLG179–1900)
included the Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Base Kits are not used in this case.
Gigabit–Ethernet Switch Overview
The SuperStack II Switch 9300 (MI 3C93012–ME) delivers full line rate, nonblocking
switching among all 12 Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE– SX ports with SC connectors for using
multimode (MMF) Fibre.
The Switch 9300 supports full–duplex mode on all Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to 16,000
MAC addresses.
