Important Information about the Ethernet Routing Switch
8600 Enterprise enhanced CPU daughter card
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8692SF Enterprise enhanced CPU daughter card
(Supermezz) is a mezzanine daughter card for the 8692SF module. The daughter
card consists of dual 1 GHz Power PC processors. Installing the daughter card to an
8692SF module offloads processor-intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor
located on the 8692SF CPU motherboard.
With Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Series Release 4.1, the daughter card provides
decreased convergence times for large forwarding tables as well as a better scaling
and performance number.
Note: If you choose the 8692SF CPU daughter card option and have a
system with two Ethernet Routing Switch 8692SF modules, you must
install the daughter card on each of the 8692SF modules.
The daughter card installation kit includes a CPU daughter card and associated
installation hardware, as shown in Figure 1.
