Fibre Channel interface

The XP family of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:

•Connection speed of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps

•Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface

•Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors

•Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach

•Fibre Channel switches

Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term “SCSI disk” because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks.
