The type and number of BYNET switch chassis and cabinets in a coexistence system are determined by system size. The table below shows the number of BYNET V5 switch chassis and cabinets needed, per node fabric. This is for BYNET 0 only. The configuration is repeated for BYNET 1.
System configurations larger than 324 nodes (to a maximum of 1,024 nodes) are accommodated by special order.
