DPU Chassis Input/Output
Connections
Overview
All input/output connections are contained on the front DPU chassis panel.
The chassis contains:
• Two serial ports
• Two 10Base-T Ethernet ports
• One backup link port
This chapter describes each link in some detail.
Ethernet Network Connections
The DPU chassis contains two 10Base-T Ethernet ports using RJ-45
connectors to interface with the maxNET communication network. Network
A and Network B operate at 10Mbps as independent networks. Because the
Ethernet channels are independent, a fault on one network or processor will
not affect the operation of the other, or cause a DPU failover. Ethernet
messages are sent/received based upon the DPU’s Ethernet address with
minimal Control Processor intervention.
Configuring the Ethernet Switch
Each DPU connects to the maxNET through two external Ethernet switches –
one for Network A and one for Network B. The Ethernet switch ports that
connect to DPUs should be configured for 10Mbps full-duplex operation.
Switch ports that connect to other switches should be configured for
100Mbps full-duplex operation. Refer to the user manuals that came with
your Ethernet switch to learn how to change the port settings.
