Data Sheet
Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX Ethernet Switch/IBP 1Gbit/s
36/8+2
Connects 2 channels of each Server Blade with any type of
external 1 and 10 Gb Ethernet networks
PRIMERGY BX Connection Blades simplify network
connectivity for PRIMERGY BX Blade Servers,
ensuring fast, reliable and exible access to
data and storage networks. All Connection
Blades are integrated within the BX chassis and
benet from a high-speed midplane as well
as from energy-efcient power and cooling. A
wide range of different Connection Blades are
available to address current and next-generation
I/O requirements for standards-based Fibre
Channel, InniBand and Ethernet networks.
PRIMERGY BX400 system units support up to 4
Connection Blades, PRIMERGY BX900 up to 8, thus
implementing exible and scalable connections
in order to meet the requirements arising from
dynamic workloads.
Today’s technological specications offer speeds
of up to 8 Gb for Fibre Channel, 40Gb InniBand,
and up to 10 Gb for Ethernet connections per
Uplink port. All the facets of Connection Blades are
available, from highly functional self-developed
models to brand models from Brocade or
Mellanox; all feasible requirements can thus be
met.
PRIMERGY BX Ethernet Switch/IBP 1Gbit/s
36/8+2
The PRIMERGY Ethernet Switch/IBP 36/8+2 is an
integrated 1 Gb Connection Blade for use in the
PRIMERGY BX400 and BX900 chassis. It can be
installed in each Connection Blade slot (4x in
BX400, 8x in BX900) and provides 36 downlink
ports each with 1 Gb to the midplane to connect
with the Server Blades. The module contains 8
uplink ports each with 1 Gb plus 2 uplink ports
each with 10 Gb; Layer 2+ functionalities are
supported.
The Intelligent Blade Panel mode combines the
advantages of a switch regarding cable and port
consolidation with the Pass-Thru advantage
of total (VLAN) transparency without protocol
compatibility problems occurring. Server Blade
LAN ports may be grouped together with one or
more external ports, into independent named port
groups. Based on the so-called Management VLAN
Grouping each Server Blade can be assigned a
separate, VLAN-based management access.
This Connection Blade is prepared for the simple
creation of large homogeneous I/O domains by
combining (stacking) up to 8 modules within one
or more PRIMERGY BX system units.
