The ZX4300P CompactPCI Ethernet 10/100 Mbps switch is the cost-effective and flexible
solution to Embedded Carrier Class Layer 2 switching requirements.
ZNYX Networks' ZX4300P is the first switch designed to support the upcoming PICMG 2.16
specification for a CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane (CPSB), but it can also be deployed
in a standard CompactPCI chassis by using one of three optional Rear Transition Boards (RTB).
When installed in the fabric slot of a CPSB chassis, the ZX4300P includes support for the
extended CPSB specification, routing all 24 10/100 ports to the backplane. It also supports the
typical 19 node CPSB, and with the addition of the ZXRTB05 RTB, routes the remaining 5 ports
to rear panel RJ-45 connectors. This allows the systems architect to easily add another chassis to
the switched backplane fabric.
The same ZX4300P may be installed in a standard CompactPCI chassis and configured with rear
panel I/O for all 24 10/100 ports. In an extension of PICMG 2.16, ports 20 through 24 are routed
to the J4 connecter, which cannot be part of an H.110 connection. Options include either the
ZXRTB24 dual-slot RTB with 24 RJ-45 connectors or the ZX4024RP single slot RTB with two
RJ-21 Telco connectors.
In either chassis, the ZX4300P's Hot Swap and instant reconfiguration features allow rapid
installation in a live system and a mean time to repair of mere seconds.
By using the latest switch silicon, the ZX4300P features non-blocking line-rate switching, 802.3x
and back-pressure flow control. Like the ZNYX Networks OpenArchitect switches, the ZX4300P
is designed for NEBS compliance and may be used with any host operating system or any host
CPU including Sun SPARC, Intel x86, and Motorola PowerPC.

Installation
Chapter 2 Installation
The ZX4300P is an unmanaged layer 2 switch requiring no software setup or configuration. Once
the switch is installed in a chassis and power applied, it is fully operational as a layer 2 switch.
Be sure to carefully follow the instructions for attaching the ZX4300P switch into an available 6U
Compact PCI (cPCI) slot to prevent damage. For CPSB applications, the ZX4300P must be
placed in a PICMG 2.16 compliant fabric slot. If you intend to use a Rear Transition Board, a
cPCI chassis is required that supports the rear panel I/O for a corresponding Rear Transition
Board. Some steps in this procedure may vary depending on the specific system used.
If the ZX4300P is installed in a non-CPSB chassis, i.e. a standard CompactPCI chassis, ensure
the slot used does NOT contain an H.110 backplane.
Preparing for the Install
Refer to your specific system documentation for addi ti onal insta lla t ion reference.
1. Power off your system.
2. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis, or by using
an anti-static wrist strap. If you do not have a ground strap, maintain physical contact with the
case to maintain the same electrical potential with the system.
Installing the ZX4300P cPCI Card
1. Select an available slot on your cPCI system and remove the slot cover from the front panel.
For CPSB applications, choose a fabric slot.
2. Carefully insert the ZX4300P into the slot. Be sure you push the card straight into the slot.
The card and the slot must be properly aligned and the card fully seated. A card is seated
properly when it touches the system case up to the extract ion lev ers.
3. Push the extraction levers towards one another to finish seating the switch and secure the
retention screws.

Installation
Installing the Rear Transition Board (RTB)
1. Remove the slot cover (or covers) from the corresponding rear panel bracket (slot filler) on
your system.
2. Insert the correct Rear Transition Board into the slot.
NOTE: Exercise extreme care when inserting the RTB card into the chassis. Improper
alignment of the rear transition card connector with the rear panel connector pins can
damage the pins. Your switch includes AB connectors to assist in properly aligning the
RTB for insertion. Follow the same insertion precautions as the switch.
3. Push the extraction levers towards one another to finish seating the RTB and secure the
retention screws.

Connecting the Cables
The ZX4300P uses Broadcom's proprietary HP-AutoMDI-X technology that senses the cable
attachment and adjusts it's internal Transmit and receive paths accordingly. The ports of the
switch will auto-sense and correct for MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cabling.
LED Reference
The LED lights on the ZX4300P switch and corresponding Rear Transition Board (RTB) provide
diagnostic and activity information during power up and normal use of the switch. A definition of
