The Supermicro MBM-25G-P20 Pass-Thru Module is designed for Supermicro MicroBlade enclosures for high-performance data center traffic application usage. It is compatible with the SuperBlade 6U and 3U enclosures. Up to two modules can be used in the 6U enclosure and up to one in the 3U enclosure.
The Pass-Thru module leverages the existing network infrastructure to provide direct network connectivity between the blade servers and the external Top of Rack (ToR) switches using seven external QSFP28 ports. The module can support both 10G and 25G speed blade servers on its internal ports. The seven QSFP28 external ports can accept QSFP28 DAC, DAC breakout cables, and QSFP28 fiber transceiver modules for external network connectivity. The module provides a one-to-one connectivity from the internal blade server ports to the external QSFP28 Ports.
Twenty-eight internal 25G/10G downlink ports mapped from the server node to the external QSFP connection
Up to twenty-eight external 25G/10G uplink ports through the five QSFP28 ports
Auto-configuration of the port speed
Minimal configuration and management through the Chassis Management Module (CMM)
