3.3.3 Ethernet Connection
The aTCA-9710 is equipped with one Intel® 82599ES 10Gigabit Ethernet Controller and
one dual-port Intel® I350AM2 Gigabit Ethernet Controller which provide 2x 10GbE ports
and 2x GbE ports in total. In default configuration, two ports from the Intel® 82599ES
10Gigabit Ethernet Controller are connected to the front panel SFP+ ports. Two GbE ports
from the Intel® I350AM2 Gigabit Ethernet Controller are connected to Zone 2 Base
Channels 1 and 2 (BCH1/BCH2).
Two Intel XL-710-AM2 40G network controllers are installed on the aTCA-9710 providing
four 40GBASE KR4 links to Fabric Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. The four 40GBASE-KR4 links
are divided into two groups. FCH1/3 are connected to one of the XL-710-AM2 40G network
controllers while FCH2/4 are connected to the other.
Note: The bandwidth of each XL-710 40G network controller is limited by the PCIe x8 Gen3
link to the CPU. The total bandwidth of each XL-710 40G network controller is
approximately 50Gb/s.
With the aTCA-R9700 RTM installed, the aTCA-9710 supports six 10GbE SFP+ ports from
the Intel 82599ES Network Interface Controllers.
