8 x GB ETH Switch

Product Features

• Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion board e.g. to the SC4-CONCERTO and successor CPU carrier cards, the S80-P6 provides a Solid State Drive mass storage solution, and in addition to supply the backplane with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Proprietary size mezzanine module. Fits basically into the 4HP (20.3mm) envelope of the CPU carrier board. Typically delivered as a ready to use assembly unit (including SC4-CONCERTO or successor CPU card). Mounting position right
• A nine-port Gigabit Ethernet switch is provided on-board. Eight ports are available for CompactPCI® Serial backplane communication via the P6 connector. Another port is connected to the local GbE controller.
• The Gigabit Ethernet switch provides latest features such as 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB/TSN) and Quality of Service (QoS) support, and allows light in-band managment.
• With a suitable Ethernet enabled CompactPCI® Serial backplane, both networking architectures are supported, either single star for reasonable backplane cost, or full mesh for optimum system flexibility.
• The S80-P6 connects to the mezzanine expansion connectors HSE1 and HSE2 of the CompactPCI® Serial CPU carrier board, maintaining the 4HP (20.32mm) total assembly height.
• The S80-P6 is equipped with a Marvell® 88E6390 Gigabit Ethernet switch. This device provides eight PHY ports (1-8) with integrated Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, wired across magnetics modules to the CompactPCI® Serial backplane connector P6.
• In addition, a SerDes port (9) of the switch is connected internally to the Intel® I210-IS on-board Gigabit Ethernet controller, for switch access by the CPU card (PCI Express®).
• The CPU carrier card with the S80-P6 mezzanine typically would be inserted into the system slot of a CompactPCI® Serial backplane, suitable for either star architecture networking, or full mesh backplane Ethernet.
• Both structures allow backplane multiprocessing and other Ethernet bound communication over P6/J6 between CompactPCI® Serial boards, with higher flexibility (and backplane cost) offered by the mesh version.
