5.3 1GbE Ports

There are two 10/100/1000Base-T (copper) Ethernet ports available on the front panel.

ETH0 and ETH1 are attached to the CaveCreek 1GbE ports 2 and 3 via two 88E1114 PHYs.

Dedicated 1000Base-X Ports are connected to CaveCreek 1GbE Ports 0 and 1 and then to

AMC Ports 0 and 1.

The LEDs on the RJ45 ports on the front panel replicate the state of four 1Gbe ports exported by CaveCreek. The LEDs for those ports are defined as follows:

5.4 XAUI Ports (only applicable to AMC721 and AMC723)

Depending on the board model, there are up to two available XAUI ports on the backplane.

AMC721 provides XAUI ports on AMC 4-7 and AMC 8-11, while AMC723 only provides a single XAUI port on AMC 8-11.

The LEDs on the front panel on both of these AMC modules provide indication of Link and
