3-1 Chapter 3 Operation The 9E106-06 module is a seven port device, six front panel ports, each repr esenting a separate Ethernet collision domain, and one backplane connection to FNB-1 or FNB-2.
Operation 3-2 System Management Buses There ar e two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter - module management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000.
3-3 Operation DC/DC Con ver ter The DC/DC converter converts the 48 VDC on the system power bus to the necessary operating voltages for its host network services module. The diagnostic controller monitors and contr ols the operation of the DC/DC converter .
