Figure 13-5 Installing a Back Card
Verifying 9.6 or 19.2 Gbps Backplane
Operation of the BPX Switch at 19.2 Gbps entails these requirements:
• A 19.2 Gbps backplane.
• BCC-4 or later controller cards.
• OneormoreBXMcards.
• Release 8.4.18 or later switch software.
• A backplane NOVRAM that is programmed to identify the backplane as a 19.2 Gbps backplane.
Switch software will not allow node operation at 19.2 Gpbs unless it can read the backplane
NOVRAM to verify that the backplane is a 19.2 Gbps backplane.
You can visually identify the 19.2 backplane by the small white card slot fan fuses at the bottom rear
of the backplane. These fan fuses are approximately 1/4 inch high and 1/8 inch wide. The 9.6 Gbps
backplane does not have these fuses.
