PMF CRUs and Communication Pathways
PMF CRUs and Communication Pathways
SEBs (including MSEBs) provide communication pathways between enclosures.
Within each enclosure, additional communication pathways are provided by ServerNet
routers in the PMF CRUs and IOMF CRUs, which also connect to other components.
The routers in the PMF CRUs and IOMF CRUs transfer data to and from routers in the
SEBs. This subsection describes communications between PMF CRUs and other
enclosures by way of SEBs.
ServerNet Router Inside a PMF CRU
The ServerNet router inside a PMF CRU provides connections over a ServerNet fabric
including connections between the processor in that PMF CRU and either:
One SEB in a Tetra 8 system
Two SEBs in a Tetra 16 system
Router Types
PMF CRU has router 1 (6 ports, 50 MB).
PMF 2 CRU has router 2 (12 ports, 125 MB).
