1.1 ATTO iPBridge 2500R/D

The ATTO iPBridge 2500R/D is a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to SCSI 1U full-rack bridge for midrange high performance, cost effective solutions in enterprise environments.

The iPBridge 2500R/D includes a single power supply, two Ethernet data ports, an Ethernet management port which may be used as a data port in the iPBridge 2500 iSCSI-configured model, a serial management port and two SCSI data and management ports. It includes a battery- backed Real-Time-Clock, and an IP Time client (RFC 1631 compliant).

Designed to fit into a 1U, full-rack enclosure, the iPBridge 2500R/D supports side mounting so it may be mounted into a standard 19-inch rack. The ports and AC power are accessed from the rear of the unit while LEDs showing port activity and status are in the front and rear.

Dimensions

Width: 16.91 inches wide (42.95 cm)

Depth: 10 inches deep (25.4 cm)

Height: 1.72 inches high (4.32 cm (1U)

Weight: approximately 2 pounds

Environment

Operating temperature: 0-70° C external

Ambient air should not exceed 40°C.

User-configurable thermal sensor for automatic shutdown default is 70°C

Blower and airflow: air enters through the slots in the rear panel and exits through the blower on the far end of the rear panel.

Humidity: 10-90% non-condensing

Power

Internal power supply: single-output 5VDC, 25- watt open frame switching power supply with universal input via a standard IEC320 adapter mounted within the enclosure. Provides power for the board and the cooling fan and is not hot swappable.

Input voltage: 120-240VAC, 50-60 Hz, fused on the power supply.

3

Power draw: 4 amps at 5.0V DC.

Battery-backed event log SRAM: A rechargeable

Lithium ion battery cell holds the memory in a 512KB SRAM for up to 30 days. If the iPBridge has been disconnected from power, recharging begins automatically when power is restored to the system. The battery is fully charged after 36 hours of continuous power application.

WARNING

Risk of explosion if battery is removed and/or replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local environmental regulations.

SCSI interface

The two independent SCSI ports on the iPBridge 2500R/D connect storage devices into the Ethernet Storage Area Network (SAN). Each port is completely independent from the other.

The ports are Ultra 3 LVD/SE SCSI busses with 68-pin “P” interface: 160 MB/sec. maximum throughput, downward compatible with all forms of single-ended SCSI.

The iPBridge supports all SCSI devices including hard disk drives, tape drives, RAID controllers and DVD, MO and CD libraries.

Ethernet interface

The two independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 data ports, labeled Ethernet ports 0 and 1, use the Intel 8254x family gigabit Ethernet chipset to support telnet-based data transfer. A separate 10/100/1000 Ethernet standard RJ45 management port, labeled Ethernet port 2, provides monitoring and management through a command line interface or ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-based interface. It may be used as a data port in the iPBridge 2500 iSCSI-configured model.

GbE cables must be at least CAT-5E certified for 1000 Mb/sec. use.
