E4600 and E5600 Command Modules

The E4600 and E5600 command modules support fiber optic connections to both hosts and drive modules. Up to four host minihubs and four drive minihubs can be installed in a command module. Each Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) minihub has two connectors, allowing a maximum of sixteen connections. An SFP transceiver (Figure 2-6) attaches to one end of the fiber optic cable and plugs into the SFP minihub, which is connected to the command module. The other end of the cable connects to an optical GBIC module in the drive module.
