68 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules8692omSF moduleDo not use any software prior to Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600Release 3.6 with the 8692omSF CPU module. For more information, seeNortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using theCorrect Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).The 8692SF module is equivalent to the 8692omSF module. It can be usedas Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the appropriate software. See NortelMetro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the CorrectSoftware Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).The 8692omSF module uses a CPU similar to the PowerPC CPU of the8691omSF. The 8692omSF CPU has 256 MB of synchronous dynamicrandom access memory (SDRAM) for forwarding tables, and 56 MB ofonboard flash memory for configuration, image and log file storage.The 8692omSF is capable of supporting an optional Metro Ethernetenhanced CPU daughter card. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPUdaughter card is a mezzanine daughter card consisting of dual 1 GHzPowerPC processors. Installing the daughter card on an 8692omSF moduleoffloads processor intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor located onthe 8692omSF CPU motherboard. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPUdaughter card is required for Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) services.For installation instructions, see Appendix "Installing the Metro Ethernetenhanced CPU daughter card" (page 135).The flash memory is divided into two volumes: Volume/0 has a capacity of16 MB and Volume/1 has a capacity of 40 MB. You can use either volumeto store multiple file types, however, the 8692omSF module can only useeither Volume/0 or Volume/1. By default, the system can only use 16 MB onVolume/0. If you want to use 40 MB on Volume/1, refer to the procedurefor upgrading the flash memory to 40 MB in Nortel Metro Ethernet RoutingSwitch 8600 Upgrading — Software Release 4.1 (NN46220-402).Using the SMLT protocol in the core, the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch8600 can provide over 1 Tb/s of core switching capability.Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600Installation — ModulesNN46220-306 02.02 Standard4.2 7 July 2008Copyright © 2005-2007, Nortel Networks.
