Sorry in advance for dumb questions. I have been using Roach 1 for a few ye
ars and like it. Now we have a Roach 2. I want to get the 10GB ethernet working.
A few questions:
What should I buy to plug into those holes on the back, where the mezzanine
slots are?
Can I use a fiber optic widget to plug in? Or do we have to use copper? Can
we use Long fiber or the short
fiber version of 10GB ethernet? Are there part numbers of what I should buy
to stick into the back of the Roach 2 to allow 10GB Ethernet connection?
What should I buy to plug into the linux box. I assume some fiber optic 10GB
PCI -Express card but not sure.
I am running Red Hat Linux. Any name brands and part numbers?
Where do I get the latest libraries to download for roach 2. I did not
attend
the last Casper conference so I am not "hip" to the location.
Thanks
