• Dell EMCManagement Module M9002m
The Dell EMC MX9002m Management Module controls the overall chassis power, cooling, and hosts the OpenManage Enterprise-
Modular (OME-M) console. Two external 1G-BaseT Ethernet ports are provided to enable management connectivity and to connect
more PowerEdge MX7000 chassis into a single logical chassis. The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports two PowerEdge MX9002m
management modules for redundancy. The Management module offers:
• Two x 1G-BaseT Ethernet ports
• One x Micro-B USB port
• Dell EMC Networking MX7116n Fabric Expander Module
The Dell EMC Networking MX7116n Fabric Expander Module operates as an unmanaged Ethernet repeater to connect servers to the
MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine using QSFP28-DD connections. The Expander Module offers:
○ Sixteen 25 GE server-facing ports
○ Two QSFP28-DD ports for connection to a Fabric Switching Engine
• Dell EMC Networking MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine
The Dell EMC Networking MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine is a scalable L2/L3 switch designed that provides high-bandwidth, low-
latency 25 GbE networking. This high-end switch offers:
○ Sixteen 25 GE server-facing ports
○ 12 QSFP28-DD ports that you can use to connect to Fabric Expanders or break out to: 8x10GE or 8x25GE ports for connection to
rack servers or other Ethernet devices, or 2x40GE/2x100GE ports for uplinks, connection to SAN storage, and switch
interconnects
○ Two QSFP28 uplink ports that can operate in 1x100GE, 1x40GE, 4x25GE, 2x50GE, or 4x10GE mode
○ Two QSFP28 unified ports that operate in Ethernet or Fibre Channel 1x100GE, 1x40GE, 4x25GE, 4x10GE, 2x50GE, or
8x8/16/32GFC mode
• Dell EMC Networking MX5108n Ethernet Switch
The Dell EMC Networking MX5108n Ethernet Switch is a basic L2/L3 switch that is designed to provide high-performance, low-
latency networking for the PowerEdge MX7000 installations. It provides FCoE transit, but no native Fibre Channel functionality, and
offers:
○ Eight 25 GE server-facing ports
○ Two 100 GE QSFP28 uplink ports
○ One 40 GE QSFP28 uplink port
○ Four 10GBASE-T uplink ports
• Dell EMC Networking MXG610s Fibre Channel Switch
The Dell EMC Networking MXG610s Fibre Channel Switch provides the following hardware features:
○ Up to 16 external FC ports to connect with external FC storage or an FC switch
○ Up to 16 internal backplane FC ports to connect with the FC controller on the sleds
○ A dual-core T1022E processor operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and advanced fabric vision functionality
○ Two 32 Gbps short wavelength (SWL) optical SFP+ transceivers in the entry-level 8-port model
○ Four 32 Gbps SWL optical SFP+ transceivers in the midlevel 16-port model
○ Eight 32 Gbps SWL optical SFP+ transceivers in the enterprise 16-port model
• Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5000s SAS Switch
The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX5000s SAS Switch IOM provides the following hardware features:
○ Up to 8 internal 12Gbit/sec x4 SAS connections
○ Internal SAS Fabric that enables the connectivity without any need for attached cables
• Dell EMC PowerEdge MX 10GBASE-T Ethernet Pass-Through Module
The Dell 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through module II supports 10 Gb connections. It provides a direct connection between the optional
internal Ethernet mezzanine card in the sled and an external Ethernet device. The Ethernet pass-through modules are hot-swappable.
