Introduction

The Chaparral FS2620R router is a Fibre Channel (FC)-to-Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) router that enables connectivity between SCSI devices and storage area networks (SANs). The router provides Fibre Channel connection to SCSI devices allowing them to be attached to either a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) or switched fabric.

The router allows SCSI and Fibre Channel devices to communicate seamlessly by converting data to the appropriate protocol and routing it to the desired destination.

The router supports a variety of SCSI devices including:

✁Hard disk drives

✁Tape drives and libraries

✁Optical devices and libraries

✁RAID controllers
