1.1 ATTO FibreBridge 2370E

The ATTO FibreBridge 2370E is a 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel to SCSI bridge offering the ability to add 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity to Ultra320 SCSI devices.

The FibreBridge 2370E is available in an embeddable card for easy integration into storage devices.

Default values are appropriate for most applications. Refer to Configuring the FibreBridge on page 15 for more information.

drive power connector.

Input voltage and

power draw: 5.0V = 10 Watts, 12V = 24 Watts

Fibre Channel port

The 4-Gb Fibre Channel port uses a Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) interface. Its rate is set to automatic detection by default.

SCSI ports

The two independent SCSI ports are Ultra320 SCSI busses with internal HD68 connectors, downward compatible with all forms of single- ended SCSI and all previous SCSI protocols.

Management access

The 10/100 Base T Ethernet port is accessible from the RJ-45 connector to provide local and remote diagnostics, monitoring and management.

Aserial 10-pin header provides support for an RS- 232 remote monitoring and management port through the

Command Line Interface. The baud rate is programmable and preset at the factory to 115200 bps.

LED indicators

On-board LED indicators are on the board front or LED headers may be connected to outside panels. SCSI ports: a green LED indicates activity if it is lit, no activity if it is off.

Fibre Channel port: A green LED indicates activity if it is lit, no activity if it is off. A separate green LED indicates speed: you may set the LED to signify 1 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec if it is off or 4 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec if it is on. Refer to FCSpeedLED2G (FB2370E) on page ix of the Appendix.

A Ready LED lights green to indicate ready and is off to indicate not ready.

A Power Status LED is on to indicate 5V and 12V are applied to the board; flashing green indicates that 12V is applied but 5V is not.

A Yellow LED indicates fault status: off means

not faulted; on means faulted status.

Embedded in the Ethernet port connector: a

lighted green LED shows a valid link; off indicates that no link is present. A separate blinking yellow LED indicates activity.
