1-2. Features

FC Switch Modules N8406-019/N8406-020 are designed to be used for NEC Express5800/BladeServer series machines exclusively. The FC Switch Modules can connect with fibre channel devices.

The FC Switch Modules have the following features:

„Connecting with devices by fabric

„Port data rate fixing

„Port topology fixing

„Port zoning/WWN zoning

„Installable in SIGMABLADE-M/SIGMABLADE-H

„Cascade connection

„Do not install the FC Switch Modules in any Blade Enclosure

(SIGMABLADE) unauthorized by NEC. Do not connect the FC Switch Modules with any fibre channel devices unauthorized by NEC. If an FC Switch Module can be installed in an unauthorized Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE) and connect with unauthorized fibre channel devices, the FC Switch Module and/or the fibre channel devices may not operate normally or further may be defected.

„For Blade Enclosures (SIGMABLADE) in which the FC Switch Modules can be installed and fibre channel devices which can be connected to the FC Switch Modules, contact your service representative.

„To connect fibre channel devices to external ports of the FC Switch Module, SFP modules are required additionally.
