SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch Installation Guide Ethernet Line and Controller Cards Slots The chassis has slots for ten Ethernet line cards and two ATSBx81CFC400 Controller Cards. The slot definitions are predefined and may not be changed. Figure 9 identifies the slots. Figure 9. Ethernet Line and Controller Cards Slots Slots 1 to 4 and 7 to 12 are for the Ethernet line cards. The cards may be installed in any order or variety in the slots.
PAGE 24
Chapter 1: Overview The chassis must have at least one AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply. A single AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply can power a fully populated chassis, but there are two slots so that you may install two power supplies to add power redundancy to the chassis. The two left hand slots are for the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply, which provides PoE for the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card. (It should be noted that the line card also needs the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply to operate its switching functions.

Chapter 1: Overview Power over Ethernet on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card This section applies to the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. The twistedpair ports on the line card support Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism by which the ports supply power to network devices over the twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. This feature can simplify network installation and maintenance because it allows you to use the switch as a central power source for other network devices.
PAGE 33
SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch Installation Guide Power Budgeting The power for PoE on the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card is provided by the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply. It can provide up to 1200 watts of power for powered devices. You may install up to two power supplies in the chassis for a total of 2400 watts for the powered devices.
PAGE 34
Chapter 1: Overview PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards typically support both power delivery methods. However, some legacy PDs support only one power delivery method. Legacy devices that only support Alternative B will not work with the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. Legacy devices are nodes manufactured before the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards were completed and, consequently, may not adhere to the standards.

Chapter 1: Overview AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card The AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card has three primary functions:  Chassis Management — You may use the controller card to monitor and configure the Ethernet line cards in the chassis. You may manage the chassis locally through the Console RS-232 port on the controller card or remotely using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and SNMP clients from workstations on your network.
PAGE 41
SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch Installation Guide The components on the card are identified in Figure 19. Figure 19. AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card Where two controller cards are installed in the chassis, they provide an active/active architecture. The packet processors on both controller cards are fully utilized to double the available backplane bandwidth from 400 to 800 Gbps for the entire chassis, or 40 to 80 Gbps per line card. One of the controller cards becomes the active master.
PAGE 42
Chapter 1: Overview Table 9. SYS (System) Status LEDs LED State Description Solid Green Indicates that the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card is operating normally as the active master controller card. CFC Flashing Green Indicates that the controller card is initializing its management software or synchronizing its database with the active master controller card.

SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs LEDs State Description Off Indicates that the slot is empty.
PAGE 44
Chapter 1: Overview eco-friendly Button You may use the eco-friendly button on the controller card to turn the LEDs on or off. You may turn off the LEDs when you are not using them to monitor the control and Ethernet line cards, to conserve electricity. When the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the chassis is slightly reduced, approximately 3 watts in a system with 240 active copper ports.
PAGE 45
SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch Installation Guide Note The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is reduced from 800 to 400 Gbps for about one minute while the standby master controller card initializes its management software and synchronizes its database with the active master controller card. This may reduce network performance. Note To reset individual line cards in the chassis, use the REBOOT or RELOAD command in the management software.
