Chapter 2: Hardware Components

SCB Components

Each SCB consists of the following components:

Chassis management Ethernet switch.

I2C bus logic, used for low-level communication with each component.

Component redundancy circuitry.

Control Board/Routing Engine mastership mechanism.

Gigabit Ethernet switch that is connected to the embedded CPU complex on all components.

Switch fabric—Provides the switching functions for the DPCs.

Control FPGA—Provides the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface to the Routing Engine.

1000Base-T Ethernet controller—Provides a 1-Gbps Ethernet link between the Routing Engines.

Ethernet switch—Provides 1-Gbps link speeds between the Routing Engine and the DPCs.

Circuits for chassis management and control.

Power circuits for the Routing Engine and SCB.

LEDs—Provide status (see “SCB LEDs” on page 13)

SCB LEDs

Three LEDs on the SCB indicate the status of the SCB. The LEDs, labeled FABRIC ACTIVE, FABRIC ONLY, and OK/FAIL, are located directly on the SCB. Table 9 on page 13 describes the functions of the SCB LEDs.
