Figure 2-3 Components and board layout of the control canister
In Figure 2-3, the processor (A) is a quad core Jasper. There are also two DIMMs which make
up the cache memory and the battery backup unit (B) which beside the control canister is also
a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU).
As described before, the two host network adapter card locations (C and D) can also be seen.
These provide the connections to the Flex System Enterprise Chassis through the midplane
and the switch modules. It is important to remember that both control canisters must be
populated with the same type of host network adapter cards in each of these locations.
Figure 2-4 is a logical block diagram of the components and flow of the control canister.

Adapter locations: The first network adapter (slot1) location can only be populated by a
2-port 10 Gbps Ethernet CNA network adapter. The second location can be populated by
either a 2-port 10 Gbps Ethernet CNA network adapter or a 4 port 8 Gbps Fibre Channel
network adapter.
