Firmware Overview

The H8 is installed on every line card, fabric card, and fabric card filler as an interface between the IPMB bus and the component’s hardware. The H8 chips have firmware that enables them to translate commands from the CMC to appropriate control signals, and interpret data from sensors into coherent values the CMC can understand.

The switch chips have firmware that instructs how to route links, set data rates, and configure signal parameters.

When you install a new line card, fabric card or fabric card filler, the H8 firmware and switch chip firmware might not be the same as for the other components. Additionally, a newer version of the firmware might become available.
