Form Factor	Blade module for PowerEdge chassis

Network Ports	10 x 1GbE Ethernet ports
Connector Type	RJ-45

What is the maximum bandwidth per port on the BMX-PHY module?

Each port delivers 1 Gigabit per second in full-duplex mode, providing 2 Gbps aggregate throughput (1 Gbps transmit + 1 Gbps receive). This ensures dedicated gigabit connectivity for each blade server without bandwidth sharing or contention with other servers in the chassis.

How many blade servers can the BMX-PHY support simultaneously?

The module provides 10 dedicated ethernet ports, supporting up to 10 blade servers with one port per server. Each port maintains isolated 1GbE bandwidth, ensuring consistent performance regardless of traffic patterns on other ports.

Does the BMX-PHY require active management or configuration?

No. The BMX-PHY operates as a transparent passthrough module, requiring no active management or configuration. It automatically connects at gigabit speeds on a port-by-port basis. All management occurs through standard ethernet protocols and external switch configuration.

Which PowerEdge chassis models are compatible with the BMX-PHY?

The BMX-PHY is designed for Dell PowerEdge 1855 and 1955 blade server chassis. It integrates directly into these chassis as a blade module, providing dedicated network connectivity for servers within the enclosure.

Can the BMX-PHY be replaced or upgraded without interrupting server operations?

Yes. The module is hot-pluggable, enabling replacement or upgrade without interrupting blade server operations. External ports support hot-swap capability, allowing network maintenance and expansion without downtime.

Is the BMX-PHY compatible with non-Dell network switches?

Yes. The BMX-PHY is transparent to all ethernet topologies and compatible with any industry-standard gigabit ethernet switch from any vendor. It operates as a standards-compliant passthrough device, ensuring vendor-neutral interoperability.

What is the physical form factor and power consumption of the module?

The BMX-PHY is a blade module optimized for PowerEdge chassis integration. It weighs approximately 5 pounds and is designed for compact deployment within blade server enclosures, maximizing network density without requiring external space.
