Fujitsu Oracle SPARC M12-2 User Manual

2.5 Understanding the Types of Cable
This section describes the types of cables used to connect multiple SPARC M12-2S
units or to connect a crossbar box to a SPARC M12-2S unit in a building block
configuration, as well as their port locations.
The types and number of cables used vary depending on the number of SPARC
M12-2S
units in the building block configuration.
2.5.1 Types of Cable
In a building block configuration, use the following cables for connection:
■
Crossbar cable
Use either crossbar cables (optical) or crossbar cables (electrical) exclusively for the
connections of the XBU mounted in each SPARC M12-2S. Use only crossbar cables
(optical) for the connections between a crossbar box and the XBU in the SPARC
M12-2S. Cables simply described as "crossbar cables" in this manual
refer to both
crossbar cables (optical) and crossbar cables (electrical).
■
XSCF BB control cable
This cable is used to connect XSCFs mounted in different SPARC M12-2S units or
to connect a crossbar box and the XSCF of a SPARC M12-2S unit.
■
XSCF DUAL control cable
This cable is used to connect the master XSCF to a standby XSCF to duplicate the
XSCF.
Each cable has an attached tag used for maintenance notes and management.
