Product Description

The aggregator is a multi layer, 12x10 Gigabit Ethernet switch that operates in a Dell PowerEdge FX2
server chassis, which can support up to eight servers and two aggregator switches with four uplink
interfaces each.
The Dell PowerEdge FX2 server chassis is managed by a single chassis management controller (CMC),
which is similar to the CMC unit on the Dell PowerEdge M1000e and provides management connectivity
to two I/O modules and the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) units of all eight servers.
