c7000 midplane bandwidth maximum

Samuel had a midplane question:

******************

Is there any documentation listing the limitation of bandwidth over a single copper trace on the c7000 mid-plane?

I believe in a training for Infiniband c-class switches I heard the trace limit is 96Gb, but as of now have been unable to locate any document confirming this.

Reply from Dan:

Here is a Doc that covers the nitty gritty of the c7000 and it has specirfics around this.

HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00810839/c00810839.pdf

First half or so of the doc spends a lot of time on Midplane and signaling.

Overall the midplane (today) had 5 terabits per second.

Any other comments or questions?

Hi,

This question was made long ago, but I'm surely that will serve someone.

HP BladeSystem design.

...midplane with aggregate bandwidth of up to 7 Tbps...
