Endurance Release Notes for Release 4.0 Service Pack 1 7

Support for Long Distance SplitSite

Distances Up to 10

Kilometers

As of Endurance Release 4.0 Service Pack 1, you can install the tuples up to 10 kilometers apart.

In order to configure your server with this SplitSite configuration, you must install Version 4.3

of the Marathon Interface Card (MIC), described in the next section.

Marathon Interface Card (MIC) 4.3 Available

MIC version 4.3 accommodates increased long distance SplitSite installations with tuple

separations of up to 10 kilometers. You can identify this version of the MIC by examining the

cable connector ports on the MIC. This version has blue plastic casing around the external part

of the Remote port, instead of the silver color that was used in the V4.2 MIC. The blue plastic

casing is visible from the rear of the server with the MIC installed.

Singlemode Fiber Support

MIC version 4.3 can use either singlemode fiber or multimode fiber for the Remote port. For

distances greater than 500 meters, you must use singlemode fiber. For distances of 500 meters

or less, you can use either singlemode fiber or multimode fiber. Table 4 and Table 5 describe

the cable specifications.
