The HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module is also known as the 20G satellite module. The interconnect module has two 120Gb CXP Interconnect Link port connectors on the front (shown). On the rear of the interconnect module, there are twelve 20Gb Downlink ports (not shown).

Downlink ports

  • Twelve 20Gb Ethernet internal downlinks to compute module CNAs.

  • Support for HPE Synergy 20Gb CNA mezzanines.

  • If the satellite module is connected to the HPE Virtual Connect SE 40GB F8 Module:

    • Each downlink supports up to 3 FlexNICs and 1 FlexHBA or 4 FlexNICs.

    • Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the compute module as a PCIe “Physical Function” device with adjustable speeds from 100 Mb to 10 Gb in 100 Mb increments.

    • Each FlexHBA can be configured to transport either Fiber Channel over Ethernet/CEE or Accelerated iSCSI protocol.

  • If the satellite module is connected to an HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module:

    • Each downlink supports one Ethernet port to the adapter.

    • CNA can be configured to transport Fiber Channel over Ethernet/CEE.

Interconnect link port

Two 120Gb CXP Interconnect Link port connectors to the HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy or HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module.

This port supports Active Optical Cables (AOC) and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables.
