Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop 2

InSpeed™ Technology 2

Important safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and regulatory information is contained in the guide titled Safety & Regulatory Guide. The installation and use of this product must be in accordance with the information given in that guide.

About This Guide

This guide is designed to provide the user with the necessary information to install the Vixel Model 335 Switch and associated Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceivers (SFPs) for use in Fibre Channel applications in typical Storage Area Networks (SANs).

Overview

The twelve-port switch provide 1 or 2 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel support and the flexibility of SFP-based design in a 1U full-rack size. The switch is designed as a twelve-port central interconnect for Fibre Channel applications and supports the ANSI FC-AL standard.

Note: Nodes include host computers, servers, and storage arrays.

Devices are connected to the switch through Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs) transceivers and cables. Each attached node has 1 or 2 Gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) of available bandwidth; however, all ports must be set to the same speed. Ports with no inserted SFPs or with inoperative nodes are bypassed. The switch’s LED indicators provide status information to service personnel to indicate whether the port is active or bypassed.

Features

The switch incorporates the following features:

•InSpeed™ Technology

•Operating speeds of either 1.0625 or 2.125 Gb/s.

•Standard 1U size for easy installation into standard rack or placement on a tabletop.

•Twelve SFP ports for total cabling flexibility and scalability.

•Management through the switch’s integrated web server or command line interface (CLI).

•10BaseT Ethernet and RS-232 Serial ports on the switch.

•Switching and non-switching operating modes.

•System and port status LED indicators

•Auto-sensing, universal power supply supporting 100 to 250 VAC and 50 or 60 Hz.
