Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis

This document contains information necessary to install the SmartSwitch 9000 9C114 and 9C714 chassis. It is designed for the initial installation only. For detailed operational information on the various SmartSwitch 9000 components, refer to the following manuals:
Chapter 1
SmartSwitch 9000 9C300-1 Environmental Module User’s Guide SmartSwitch 9000 9C214-1 AC Power Supply Installation Guide SmartSwitch 9000 9C214-2 DC Power Supply Installation Guide Local Management User’s Guide
In addition, each interface module has a user’s guide.

The SmartSwitch 9000

The SmartSwitch 9000 chassis is a networking platform that provides support for the configuration and operation of up to 14 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, Gigabit Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Systems Network Architecture (SNA), Wide Area Networks (WAN), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
1-1
Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis
Redundant Power Supply Modules
The 9C114 and 9C714 support the installation of two power supplies for power supply redundancy and load sharing. If a 9C500 Power Box is used, up to six power supplies may be installed.
9C300-1 Environmental Module
The 9C300-1 Environmental Module provides out-of-band management capabilities, monitors power supply and environmental status, and has a built-in cooling system. The 9C300-1 Environmental Module is also “hot swappable” so that it can be removed for repair or replacement without causing network downtime. For details refer to the
User’s Guide
.
SmartSwitch 9000 9C300-1 Environmental Module
The Backplane
The 9C114 SmartSwitch 9000 pr ovides six distinct backplane buses, and the 9C714 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.

Cell Transfer Matrix
Figure 1-1. The SmartSwitch 9000 Backplane Buses
Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis
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 Environmental Module, 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.
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 9C300 Environmental Module, or through the serial COM ports, also located on the Environmental Module. 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 traffic 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 specific 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.
1-3
Installing the 9Cx14 Chassis
The Cell Transfer Matrix (installed in the 9C714 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 traffic. 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 9C714 chassis has 14 modules that connect to the CTM installed, there are 182 point-to-point links between all the modules, providing a total aggregrate switching capacity of 75 Gbps.
