As shown in the Section 3, the MDC-C5i consists of a single SR-10 Module. The
SR-10 Module contains 10 BioDigitalPC®slots, each having three 1Gbps NICs
attached to an integrated switch. Each switch has two SFP+ 10Gbps connectors
and one 1Gbps RJ-45 connector broken out to the side panel of the MDC-C5i
(See Section 3.2 for additional information). Each SR-10's integrated switch
and BioDigitalPC® power control are managed via the MDC-C5i's Web-based
