Switch and Node Configurations

When a modular system is ordered, three configurations are available for the switches that affect the node configuration. The configurations cannot be altered after being produced at the factory.

Depending upon which configuration was chosen, you must use the applicable switch when replacing a faulty switch.

The configurations are as follows:

  • Two copper switches.

  • Two copper switches and two fiber switches.

  • Two copper switches and four fiber switches.

Implementation of support for Ethernet adapters, PCIe cards, and switch updates may vary. For the newest list of supported adapters and cards and switch updates, refer to the Netra Modular System Product Notes and the product page at https://www.oracle.com/servers/netra/netra-modular-system.


Note -  When ordering additional or replacement nodes, it is critical that the correct node configuration be obtained. Incompatible nodes will not operate correctly in your modular system. Oracle uses data from the original modular system order to assist in the correct node configuration.

Note -  Alternatively, in place of any fiber switches, the modular system can have up to four MPO coupler (fiber) modules. Fiber switches cannot be combined with fiber coupler panels.
