Introduction
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot 9C106 and 9C706
Chassis Setup and Installation Guide
instructions and essential reference information for the Cabletron Systems
SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot networking chassis and its associated modules.
Chapter 1
. This manual provides installation
Unless noted differently, the information in this guide applies to both the 9C106
NOTE
and 9C706 SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot chassis, which are referred to as either the
Ò9C106Ó or the ÒchassisÓ.
SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot 9C106 Overview
The following section provides a brief overview of the major components of the
SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot chassis and describes several of the important features of
these components.
9C106 Chassis
The 9C106 chassis is a networking platform that provides support for the
conÞguration and operation of up to six Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 9000
interface modules.
Features
Multiple Tec hnology Support
The design of the chassis allows it to provide support for existing and future
Local Area Networking technologies such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring,
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Systems Network Architecture (SNA),
Wide Area Networks (WAN), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

Introduction
The Backplane
The 9C106 SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot chassis provides six distinct backplane buses,
and the 9C706 provides an additional seventh bus, the Cell Transfer Matrix. Each
bus serves a particular set of needs. The seven backplane buses are shown in
Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. The SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot Backplane Buses
The descriptions of the seven backplane buses are as follows:
System Management Bus 1
The System Management Bus 1, abbreviated SMB-1, is a management bus
devoted solely to transferring management information between the modules in
the chassis. It is through the SMB-1 that modules inform each other, and the
System Monitor, of their current operating status, diagnostic test results,
initialization queries and other information. The SMB-1 operates at 1 Mbps, and
every module in the chassis has a connection to it.
1-2
Introduction
System Management Bus 10
The System Management Bus 10, or SMB-10, performs similar functions to those
of the SMB-1 previously discussed in this section. The SMB-10 bus is devoted to
the transfer of management data within the chassis, but is used for out-of-band or
Local Management operations. The SMB-10 operates at Ethernet speeds of
10 Mbps, and is connected to any manageable module in the chassis. Access to the
SMB-10 for Local Management operations is provided through an Ethernet Port
Interface Module (EPIM) slot on the 9C306 System Monitor, or through the serial
COM ports, also located on the System Monitor. The SMB-10 can also be accessed
from in-band management through a Telnet application.
The Flexible Network Buses
The Flexible Network Buses, FNB-1 and FNB-2, are the primary backplane buses
used to connect SmartSwitch 9000 modules for shared network designs. Each
FNB bus operates as a dual, counterrotating Fiber Distributed Data Interface
(FDDI) ring. Each FNB bus operates at 100 Mbps, and consists of one primary ring
and its associated secondary ring. In the event of a failure of a station or a
connection, the signals from the primary ring are wrapped onto the secondary
ring, creating a single ring and allowing network trafÞc to continue circulating.
The construction of the FNB backplanes includes shunting connectors which
allow network signals to pass by unpopulated slots in the chassis. This design
frees Network Managers from a dependence on speciÞc ordering or placement of
modules, and allows modules to be removed from the FNB without causing a
wrap of the FDDI ring.
The Internal Network Buses
The Internal Network Buses, abbreviated INB-1 and INB-2, are designed to
simultaneously support both packet and ATM cell transport. Each INB data
channel is 64 bits wide (56-byte data bus and 8-byte management and control bus)
and runs at a clock rate of 40 MHz, yielding a sustained data rate of 2 Gbps, and a
burst rate of 2.5 Gbps. The 8-byte management and control bus allows all
signaling and bus arbitration functions to occur out-of-band with regard to user
data.
The Cell Transfer Matrix (installed in the 9C706 chassis only)
The Cell Transfer Matrix provides a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) based
mesh of full duplex, high speed (1.6 Gbps) dedicated interconnections capable of
carrying standard ATM cell trafÞc. These interconnections are a series of point-topoint links between an individual module, and every other module that directly
connects to the Cell Transfer Matrix. If the 9C706 chassis has 6 modules that
connect to the CTM installed, there are 30 point-to-point links between all the
modules, providing a total aggregate switching capacity of 32 Gbps.

Introduction
Support for All SmartSwitch 9000 Interface Modules
The chassis is designed to offer the same networking capabilities as Cabletron
Systems original SmartSwitch 9000 chassis, thus supporting the same
SmartSwitch 9000 networking interface modules.
9C206-1 Power Supply
The 9C206-1 power supply, shown in Figure 1-2, is a 1000 watt, triple output
supply that provides power to the SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot chassis. At least one
power supply must be installed; however, an additional power supply can be
installed to achieve redundancy. When two power supplies are installed, the
system uses a current sharing scheme where each supply provides power equally.
