    • Support replacement CPU and Memory components on the CMM. Refer to sk138652.
    • Chassis fans sporadically going to max speed. After a few minutes, the speed will go back to normal values.

      This is caused by a bad reading of the fans sensors in the chassis, which cause the CMM to think that they are not rotating. As a response, the CMM sets all fans to max speed.
      The new firmware implements a mechanism that buffers the readings of the fans sensors, when sampled, the buffer median is taken as the sensor value.

              Notes:

              1. SGM220T is supported only by the 61000 / 61000 N+N Security Systems.
              2. Refer to sk118435: 60000 / 40000 Appliances - Working with 40G Back Plane connectivity for SGM400.

            • Software versions support

              The following table shows which SGMs are supported by which software versions:

              Version SGM220 SGM220T
              (for NEBS) (*)              		 SGM260 SGM400
              R76SP Yes Yes Yes No
              R76SP.10 Yes Yes Yes No
              R76SP.20 Yes Yes Yes No
              R76SP.30 Yes Yes Yes No
              R76SP.40 Yes Yes Yes No
              R76SP.50 Yes Yes Yes Yes

              (*) SGM220T is supported only by the 61000 / 61000 N+N Security Systems.

            • Supported combinations of different SGMs on the same chassis

              By default, you should always install pairs of the same SGMs (e.g., either 2 x SGM260, or 2 x SGM400).
              Only in specific cases, it is supported to install a combination of different SGMs.

                SGM220 SGM220T
              (for NEBS) (*)              		 SGM260 SGM400
              SGM220 Yes Yes (**) No No
              SGM220T Yes (**) Yes No No
              SGM260 No No Yes No
              SGM400 No No No Yes

              (*) SGM220T is supported only by the 61000 / 61000 N+N Security Systems.
              (**) Not the recommended, as the SGM220T may become a system bottle due to different CPU frequencies.
