SmartCards and Modules
There are two SmartCard/module categories available to use with your SmartBits chassis.
The SmartCards/modules that you will use is based on the requirements of the chassis you
are using. They are defined as follows:
• SmartCards (SMB-200 and SMB-2000).
• Modules (SMB-600 and SMB-6000B.
LEDs on Ethernet SmartCards/modules
Each SmartBits card has a set of LEDs that are similar in functionality but the features
may vary according to the card you are using. Table 9-9 describes the LED functions and
descriptions for all the Ethernet cards.
