Chassis Specifications | Parts List
| Integrating Ethernet switches into the blade chassis dramatically reduces cabling resulting in easier access and service. The modularity of the solution provides plenty of bandwidth and flexibility. |
| Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Modules (SBCEGBESW1 & SBCEGBESW10) | |
|---|---|
| Features | Benefits |
| Ethernet switch modules integrate with blade chassis | Reduces clutter, realizes space savings, and simplifies deployment and management |
| Easy-to-use, powerful, and flexible management user interface options | Decreases resource requirements for network management operations by simplifying installation, configuration, and monitoring |
| 10K jumbo frames support | Increases performance in data-transfer-intensive environments such as IP storage networks |
| 14 1-Gbit/sec internal Ethernet ports | Individual 1-Gbit/sec connections to each blade |
| 6 1-Gbit/sec external Ethernet ports | Connection to up to six different external devices |
| IEEE 802.1Q & 802.1P Tagged VLAN support | Allows advanced network configuration for enhanced security and QoS management |
| 10Gb uplinks (SBCEGBESW10 only) | Scales existing infrastructures to 10GbE networking today, at a dramatically lower price point than stand-alone 10GbE switches |
| Multiple chassis are stackable using optional 10Gb uplinks (SBCEGBESW10 only) | Scales 10GbE networks at very low cost and manages stacked switches as a single unit, a pioneering capability within this equipment class |
