The Dell EMCMX9002m Management Module controls the overall chassis power, cooling, and hosts the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular (OME-M) console. Two external 1G-BaseT Ethernet ports are provided to enable management connectivity and to connect more PowerEdge MX7000 chassis into a single logical chassis. The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports two PowerEdge MX9002m management modules for redundancy. The Management module offers:

The Dell EMCNetworking MX7116n Fabric Expander Module operates as an unmanaged Ethernet repeater to connect servers to the MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine using QSFP28-DD connections. The Expander Module offers:

• Sixteen 25 GE server-facing ports
• Two QSFP28-DD ports for connection to a Fabric Switching Engine

The Dell EMCNetworking MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine is a scalable L2/L3 switch designed that provides high-bandwidth, low-latency 25 GbE networking. This high-end switch offers:

• Sixteen 25 GE server-facing ports
• 12 QSFP28-DD ports that you can use to connect to Fabric Expanders or break out to: 8x10GE or 8x25GE ports for connection to rack servers or other Ethernet devices, or 2x40GE/2x100GE ports for uplinks, connection to SAN storage, and switch interconnects
• Two QSFP28 uplink ports that can operate in 1x100GE, 1x40GE, 4x25GE, 2x50GE, or 4x10GE mode
• Two QSFP28 unified ports that operate in Ethernet or Fibre Channel 1x100GE, 1x40GE, 4x25GE, 4x10GE, 2x50GE, or 8x8/16/32GFC mode

The Dell EMCNetworking MX5108n Ethernet Switch is a basic L2/L3 switch that is designed to provide high-performance, low-latency networking for the PowerEdgeMX7000 installations. It provides FCoE transit, but no native Fibre Channel functionality, and offers:

• Eight 25 GE server-facing ports
• Two 100 GE QSFP28 uplink ports
• One 40 GE QSFP28 uplink port
• Four 10GBASE-T uplink ports

The Dell EMCNetworking MXG610s Fibre Channel Switch provides the following hardware features:

• Up to 16 external FC ports to connect with external FC storage or an FC switch
• Up to 16 internal backplane FC ports to connect with the FC controller on the sleds
• A dual-core T1022E processor operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and advanced fabric vision functionality
• Two 32 Gbps short wavelength (SWL) optical SFP+ transceivers in the entry-level 8-port model
• Four 32 Gbps SWL optical SFP+ transceivers in the midlevel 16-port model
• Eight 32 Gbps SWL optical SFP+ transceivers in the enterprise 16-port model

The Dell EMCPowerEdge MX5000s SAS Switch IOM provides the following hardware features:

• Up to 8 internal 12Gbit/sec x4 SAS connections
• Internal SAS Fabric that enables the connectivity without any need for attached cables

The Dell 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through module II supports 10 Gb connections. It provides a direct connection between the optional internal Ethernet mezzanine card in the sled and an external Ethernet device. The Ethernet pass-through modules are hot-swappable.  The 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through module enables you to use optical SFP+ (short reach or long reach) and direct- attached copper (DCA) SFP+ modules.

To better address high-performance network and scalability requirements, we are increasingly implementing 25 GbE for their customers. These implementations capitalize on the 25GbE specification of the 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium. The specification uses a single-lane 25 Gbps Ethernet links and is based on the existing IEEE 100 GbE standard. The 25 GbE is an easier upgrade path from 10 GbE as it fits into the existing model. It requires half the number of PCIe lanes that are compared to 40 GbE. It leads to better PCIe bandwidth utilization, and lower power consumption. The 25GbE SFP28 physical interface specification also supports various form factors, enabling flexible configuration options.
