2Installation and Basic Operation

2.1 Unpacking the Pass Through Module

Before you install your new PTM, unpack it and make sure that there is no visible damage that

may have occurred during shipping. Your package should contain the following items:

• Dell 10Gb Ethernet Pass Through -k module for Blade Servers

• This Users Manual

The PTM is shipped without optical modules.

If anything in the package is damaged or missing, please contact your customer representative

immediately.

2.2 Insertion and Removal of the PTM

The Dell 10Gb Ethernet Pass Through -k module may be plugged into fabric slots A1, A2, B1, B2,

C1, and C2.

Determine which slot to use, based on desired system configuration.

2.2.1 PTM Insertion

Insert the PTM into the chassis as shown in the following diagram:

Figure 3: Dell Chassis Slots for the PTM

Slot A1 Slot B1 Slot C1 Slot A2

Slot B2Slot C2

Dell -10GbE PTM Rev 1.0

The PTM supports hot-insertion into the chassis. If the PTM is inserted to a powered chassis, the

power LED (green) should turn on immediately.

2.2.2 PTM Removal

The PTM supports hot-removal. It may be removed when the chassis is powered on or off.

The PTM must not be removed during a firmware update process.

Note: Firmware update is in progress when the Yellow LED is blinking.

2.3 Connecting the External Ports

The PTM front panel presents 16 SFP+ ports. Each port provides connectivity to a server with the

respective number. Figure 4 shows the front panel view of the PTM.

2.3.1 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ Modules

The PTM supports SFP+ modules for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with 10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LR

PHYs. SFP+ modules must be approved for use with this PTM. Modules not approved may not

work. See Supported Cables and Media Types on page 19 for lists of approved Direct Attached

Copper cables (DACs) and optical modules.

2.3.2 Installation and Removal of Optical Transceiver Modules

Optical transceiver modules have a locking mechanism which can be opened or closed.

To insert the module into the cage:

1. Open the module’s locking mechanism.

2. Make sure that the male connectors on the module aligns with the female connector inside of

the cage. Also check that there is no dirt or foreign matter in the module or in the cage.

3. Insert the module into the adapter card module cage.

4. Close the locking Mechanism.

To remove the module from the cage:

1. Unlock the locking mechanism by opening the handle.

2. Pull the module out of the cage.

2.4 LED Indicators

2.4.1 System LEDs

The system status LEDs indicate whether the PTM is receiving power from the chassis, and the

state of the PTM.

There are two system LEDs on the end of the module. The LED indications and meanings are

explained in the figure and table below.

Figure 5: Indicator LEDs

Table 4 - PTM states and LED configurations:

2.4.2 Port LEDs

The PTM has two I/O LEDs per port. The I/O LEDs are located on the I/O panel. The green LED,

when lit, indicates that the driver is running and a valid physical connection between nodes exists.

If the green LED is blinking, it indicates a problem with the physical link. The yellow LED when

lit, indicates a valid data activity link, this is the logical link. The yellow LED illuminates when the
