Your question about Siemens S30810-Q2143-X HUB C

The hub controller (HUBC) board is required to support the local area network (LAN) in all HiPath 4500 configurations. This board provides the physical link between the administration and data processor (ADP), active switching unit (SWU), and standby SWU. The HUBC board is a centralized wiring hub for the twisted pair Ethernet star topology. It is controlled by the ADP. The HUBC board provides basic Ethernet management. The ADP uses free I/O addresses to access the HUBC board through the multibus 1 interface. The ADP reads the HUBC board port status information and disables ports if necessary. The ADP writes the link status for the eight twisted pair ports to the HUBC board LED register, providing the port status LED indications. The HUBC board is installed in slot 25 and controlled by the ADP (DPC5 in slot 31).
