ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual

1.1 ATTO iPBridge 1500E

The ATTO iPBridge 1500E is a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to SCSI embeddable bridge for midrange

performance, cost effective solutions in SMB/SME environments.

The iPBridge 1500E includes a single Ethernet

port which may be used for either data transfer or

configuration, a serial management port and a

SCSI port.

Dimensions

Length: 6.4 inches

Width: 4.4 inches

Height of the tallest component: .536 inches

Environment

Operating Temperature: 5-40° C external

Ambient air should not exceed 40°C.

Humidity: 10-90% non-condensing

Recommended airflow: 11 cubic feet per minute

Power

The iP1500E board may be powered from a 4-pin

connector.

Input voltage:

12V DC ±10% derived from a 4-

pin connection.

Power draw:

12V, 1.7 amps

Reset switch

A manual reset switch is mounted on the board

near the serial port.

SCSI port

The SCSI port on the iPBridge 1500E connects

storage devices into the Storage Area Network

(SAN). The port is an Ultra 3 LVD/SE SCSI bus

with 68-pin “P” interface: 160 MB/sec. maximum

throughput, downward compatible with all forms

of single-ended SCSI.

The iPBridge supports SCSI devices including

hard disk drives, tape drives RAID controllers,

DVD, MO and CD libraries.

Ethernet port

The 10/100/1000 GbE RJ45 Ethernet port uses the

Intel 8254x family gigabit Ethernet to support

Telnet-based data transfer and management

through a an ASCII-based command line

interface or ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-based

interface.

GbE cables must be at least CAT-5E certified for

1000 Mb/sec. use.

Serial port

The RS-232 serial port provides support for

remote monitoring and management through a

command line interface. It is set at the factory at

115,200 bps.

LED indicators

Activity:

A green LED in the middle of the

iPBridge blinks to show the unit is ready and to

identify the iPBridge when the CLI command

IdentifyBridge

is enabled. It goes dark when there is

SCSI activity.

SCSI Activity:

the SCSI bus has an LED which is

lit when the iPBridge is ready and goes dark when

there is SCSI activity.
