The FFx-RAID Controller Module | Plug-in Board Modules |
8.1.1Indicators and Connectors
The integrated FC-HUB provides the standard host-interface (two nodes) for the storage subsystem. One node will be connected via a fixed HSSDC connector (11) (see figure 19 on page 47) available only for cooper cable up to 10 m.
The other node will be connected via a GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) (12). The FC-transmission medium (CU/HSSDC, MMF or SMF) depends on the type of GBIC being used.
IPerfect functioning will be ensured only by the use of the GBIC types released by Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH.
LEDs indicate the operating status of the module, of the corresponding nodes and/or loop and the channel activity (see tables under „Description of the LED indicators“ on the following pages).
To configure the FFx-RAID controller, use the VT100 Terminal-Emulation- Interface (see “Related publications” on page 81) or SAM (SAN Array Manager) software. The VT100 Terminal-Emulation-Interface can be connected via the VT100-DEBUG connector (10).
