Gb Pass-through Module Gb Pass-through Module Link Negotiations A Gb pass-through module external port negotiates a link with an external device whether a server module is installed or not. This is because the Gb pass-though module uses the SerDes interface for internal connectivity to the server modules. NOTE: The Gb Ethernet module must be connected to a 1000 Mb port on the external switch (10 Mb and 100 Mb ports are not supported). The following cases describe normal behavior of the Gb pass-though module when a cable is connected from an external port on the module to an external switch. • A link is displayed at both the external switch and at the Gb pass-through module if a server module is installed or a Gb Ethernet daughter card is installed in the server module. • A link is displayed only at the external switch if a server module is not installed or a Gb Ethernet daughter card is not installed in the server module. A link is not displayed at the Gb pass-through module. General System Configuration 23
