• In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB
option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fibre optic
cable. The fibre optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected
in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from
the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI
slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB
controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a
slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fibre optic connections.
• The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to 8 fibre optic connections. Two standard
length, single-mode fibre optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally
provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building
Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fibre optic connectivity is completely transparent to
the systems using it and has no performance impact.

MEMORY CHANNEL (Requirements for Currently Installed AlphaServer 8400 systems)
• Console firmware at revision V2.3 or higher
• CCMAA-BA adapter must be installed in slots 0-7 of a DWLPA-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI; no restriction for
DWLPB-AA/AB/BA/BB PCI bus
• For two system nodes, order one CCMAA-BA per system and one BC12N-10 cable to connect them.
• For three or more system nodes, order CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) one CCMAA-BA and one
BC12N-10 cable per system node.
• CCMHA-AA (MEMORY CHANNEL Hub) is configured with four CCMLA-AA Line Cards and supports up to four
nodes. Expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLA-AA Line
Cards, except TruCluster Production Server configurations
