HyperFabric Products
HyperFabric hardware consists of
Currently both copper and fibre based HyperFabric hardware is available. There is also a hybrid switch that has 8 fibre ports and 4 copper ports to support mixed HF1 and HF2 clusters.
The various HyperFabric products are described below. See the HP HyperFabric Release Note for information about the HP 9000 systems these products are supported on.
NOTE | In this manual, the term HyperFabric (HF) is used in general to refer to the hardware | |
| and software that form the HyperFabric cluster interconnect product. | |
| The term HyperFabric1 (HF1) refers to the copper based hardware components: | |
| • The A4919A, A4920A, A4921A, and A6092A adapters. | |
| • | The A4891A switch. |
| • | The A4892A cable. |
| The term HyperFabric2 (HF2) refers to the fibre based hardware components: | |
| • | The A6386A adapter. |
| • The A6384A switch chassis. | |
| • The A6388A and A6389A switch modules. (Although the A6389A switch module has | |
|
| 4 copper ports it is still considered a HF2 component because it can only be used with |
|
| the A6384A HF2 switch chassis). |
| • The C7524A, C7525A, C7526A, and C7527A cables. | |
