[Aditya_Singh]

Hi Intel Team,

While browsing through datasheet of XL710, I found that there is only one package given in section 13.7-

There are total 8 SerDes lanes are available in XL710 series divided into two groups Group A and Group B. Please refer to table 2-3 into the datasheet.

As per product brief of XL710-BM1, it can support 4 x10GbE SFI modules.

Below are our queries-

1) Which group (group A or group B) will be available into XL710-BM1 variant

2) Is there any difference between package of XL710-BM1 and  XL710-BM2 variant

3) Please share the document having recommended PCB footprint for XL710-BM1.

3) Section 1.1 shows the block diagram for XL710 series-

There are two block diagrams showing below information

a) As per figure 1-5 XL710 series supports: 2x 40G or 4x 10G/1G

b) As per figure 1-7 XL710 series supports: 2x40G or 4x 10G/1G/100M
