The IBM 42B-R is a 2U chassis system designed for enterprise-level networking and storage. It features a Quadcore (P3041) Freescale (PowerPC®) processor running at 1.5 GHz, coupled with a Cavium 6880 for frame/packet processing, and a Xilinx Kintex-7 for encryption and compression. It also includes a Condor-3 for FC Trident+ for 10/40 GE. The system supports twenty-four 2/4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and sixteen 1/10 GE and two 40 GE optical/copper Ethernet ports. For management, it has one 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet management port. The system also includes a serial port with an RJ45 connector for configuration. The chassis is designed for a non-blocking shared-memory Extension Switch architecture and includes redundant universal AC input power supplies and forced-air cooling. LED indicators are provided for power, system status, FC ports, Ethernet ports, and the Ethernet management port.
