 SuperBlade®
SuperBlade® networking options include four different Ethernet modules. For simple Layer 2 switching at 1-Gbps the SBM-GEM-001 switch offers a cost-effective connectivity option. Alternatively, the SBM-GEM-002 1-Gbps Ethernet Pass-Through module provides an even lower cost access option where switched access is not required. Access to 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks is provided by either the Layer 2/3 1/10-Gbps Ethernet Switch - SBM-GEM-X2C or the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Pass-Through Module - SBM-XEM-002. These Ethernet modules can also be configured for redundant or dual load-sharing operation (or both).
For even faster connections, Supermicro offers three different InfiniBand connectivity options. A powerful new series of QDR InfiniBand switches (SBM-IBS-Q3618, SBM-IBS-Q3616, and SBM-IBS-Q3616M) provide connection from Blades to 4X QDR (40-Gbps) InfiniBand networks - the fastest networking technology available for commercial use. Other InfiniBand options include a 4X DDR switch (SBM-IBS-001) and a 14-port 4X DDR Pass-Through module(SBM-IBP-D14).
All SuperBlade® networking options are hot-pluggable.
Switches
The 1-Gigabit Ethernet switch module (part ID SBM-GEM-001) includes ten external 1-Gb/s uplink (RJ45) ports and fourteen internal 1-Gb/s downlink ports for connection to the SuperBlade®'s LAN interfaces. This layer 2 Ethernet switching module also has two internal Ethernet paths to the SuperBlade® Chassis Management Module CMM(s) to allow configuration, management, and control of the switch and its ports through a browser-based management interface. Offering such advanced features as link aggregation (static), VLAN support, and Jumbo Frame support, the switch provides a connection between the Ethernet controller integrated on the mainboard and external Ethernet systems.
The 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet layer 2/3 Switch module offers advanced switching features and connection to 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. Internally it uses the same 1-Gb/s downlink ports as the SBM-GEM-001 for connection to the SuperBlade® LAN interfaces. Externally it provides up to three 10-Gb/s uplink connections (two with a CX4 connector which are stackable and one SFP+) and two 1Gb/s uplink connections (RJ45). It also has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s) to allow configuration, management, and control of the switch and its ports through a browser-based management interface. In addition to the Web-based GUI, it offers a CLI for flexibility in management and control of single or multiple switch networks. Available in two models: part ID SBM-GEM-X2C supports up to 14 Blades and part ID SBM-GEM-X2C+ supports up to 20 Blades.

Pass-Through
The 1-Gigabit Ethernet Pass-through Module (part ID SBM-GEM-002) is a non-configurable pass through module that includes fourteen 1-Gb/s external uplink (RJ45) ports and fourteen internal 1-Gb/s downlink ports for the SuperBlade®'s LAN interfaces. This module also has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s) for viewing module temperature and voltage (but not for configuration since all connections are fixed).
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet Pass-through Module (part ID SBM-XEM-002) is also a non-configurable pass through module. It provides fourteen 10-Gb/s external uplink (SFP+) ports and fourteen internal 10-Gb/s downlink ports for the SuperBlade®'s LAN interfaces. Internal links are provided by the use of a mezzanine card (e.g., AOC-IBH-XDS) with 10-Gigabit Ethernet support capability (see AOC-IBH-XDS/XDD/XQS item descriptions below).

InfiniBand Switch Module
The InfiniBand Switch Modules are switch-based, point-to-point bi-directional serial link systems. They provide high-speed interconnectivity among the blade modules and to external InfiiniBand peripherals and are especially useful in supporting clustered High-Performance-Computing. The SBM-IBS-001 InfiniBand switch supports up to fourteen internal and 10 external 4X DDR connections (20-Gbps). The SBM-IBS-Q3616 InfiniBand Switch Module supports up to 20 internal and up to 16 external 4X QDR connections (40 Gbps). The SBM-IBS-Q3616M InfiniBand Switch Module adds the capability for installation of a BMB-CMM-002 mini-CMM, thus allowing dual/redundant links from each Blade (requires AOM-IBH-QDD) to redundant switches. The SBM-IBS-Q3618 InfiniBand Switch Module supports up to 18 internal and up to 18 external 4X QDR connections (40 Gbps) .
InfiniBand Pass-Through
The SBM-IBD-D14 InfiniBand Pass-Through is a non-configurable pass-through with fourteen internal downlinks to blades and fourteen external 4x DDR (20Gbps) connections using CX-4 cables of up to 3M length.

InfiniBand Mezzanine HCA Cards
For any blade to access the InfiniBand module, it must have an InfiniBand mezzanine HCA card installed on its mainboard. The AOC-IBH-002, AOC-IBH-XDD, and AOC-IBH-XDS mezzanine cards provide this 20-Gbps connectivity through the backplane to the InfiniBand switch module or InfiniBand Pass-through module. The AOC-IBH-XQS provides this connectivity at the QDR (40Gbps) rate when used with the QDR InfiniBand switch. The AOC-IBH-XDS, AOC-IBH-XDD, and AOC-IBH-XQS can alternatively be used for 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity when used in concert with the SBM-XEM-002 10Gbps Pass-through module.
