1. Introduction
The Switch is a 1U high and 536mm deep chassis base on Broadcom Trident3 chipset.
The physical layer will consist of 48x25G SFP28, 8x100G QSFP28 ports and 2x10G SFP+
ports. The chassis will have a nominal operating temperature range of 0 to +40 Degree C.
The CPU board is for management of the switch board , the solution is Intel BroadWell-
DE, that CPU board provide these interface: x4 PCIe2.0, SGMII, MDC/MDIO, USB2.0, and
2channel I2C connect to the switch board. There are mSATA and eUSB devices in the CPU
board and memory support DDR4 with ECC sodimm.
The following are key features of the product:
Redundant and hot-swappable PS (1+1)
Rear facing for all connections
Redundant and hot swappable fans (4+1)
1U rank mountable or desktop target 515mm
48 SFP28 25G + 8 QSFP28 40G/100G + 2 10G SFP+ ports
