Appendix A Cabling

ATTO FibreBridge SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Use an Ethernet connection to use the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.

Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both ends with the proper connectors.

SCSI port connections

The FibreBridge supports a wide variety of SCSI storage devices including stand-alone drives, removable drives, JBODs, tape, CD and DVD drives, changers, libraries and magneto optical drives.

Each SCSI port is totally independent from the other SCSI port. Each bus may support up to 15 devices and each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the appropriate sync rates with the connected devices. If slower devices are mixed with faster devices, the bus communicates at the rate of the slowest device.

Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and faster devices to the other port.

Connect a SCSI connector from the SCSI device to a SCSI port on the FibreBridge.

Check the type of cable, cable length limit and number of devices recommended for each port. Keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure the highest signal quality and performance. These cable lengths include the wiring inside the devices.

Serial port connections

The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote service operations over the RS-232 serial port using standard terminal emulation software available with most systems.

Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial port and one of the computer's serial COM ports.

Agender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter may be needed depending on the cables being used.

Ethernet connections

The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides remote monitoring and management using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.

When you connect an Ethernet cable between the FibreBridge and a 10/100Base-T connection, you may need a crossover cable connecting directly to a computer. The ATTO FibreBridge auto detects the Ethernet speed by default.
