1-2
Cisco MDS 9120 with 20 ports (4 full-rate ports, 16 host-optimized ports)
Cisco MDS 9140 with 40 ports (8 full-rate ports, 32 host-optimized ports)
Two redundant, hot-swappable power supplies have AC connections, each of which can supply
power to the entire chassis.
Two hot-swappable fan modules with two fans each manage the airflow and cooling for the entire
switch.
The 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports support Inter-Switch Links (E ports),
Extended Inter-Switch Links (TE ports), loops (FL and TL ports), and fabric (F ports) connectivity.
Besides Telnet access, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port provides switch access.
Hot-swappable, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports can be configured with either short or long
wavelength SFPs for connectivity up to 500 m and 10 km, respectively.
The multilayer Cisco MDS 9216 and Cisco MDS 9216A switches share a consistent software
architecture with the Cisco MDS 9500 Series in a semi-modular chassis and consists of the
following major hardware components:
Each chassis has two slots, one of which is reserved for the integrated supervisor module. The
–
supervisor module provides supervisor functions and has 16 standard Fibre Channel ports.
One hot-pluggable switching or services module that provides Fibre Channel or Gigabit
–
Ethernet services.
The backplane has direct plug-in connectivity to one switching or services module.
–
–
The hot-swappable fan module has four fans managing the airflow and cooling for the entire
switch.
The multiprotocol Cisco MDS 9216i switch shares a consistent software architecture with the Cisco
MDS 9500 Series in a semi-modular chassis and consists of the following major hardware
components:
The chassis has two slots, one of which is reserved for the integrated supervisor module. The
–
supervisor module provides supervisor functions and has 14 standard Fibre Channel ports and
two multiprotocol ports that can support FCIP and iSCSI protocols simultaneously.
One hot-pluggable switching or services modules that provides Fibre Channel or Gigabit
–
Ethernet services.
