Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - Cisco AJ732A - MDS 9134 Fabric Switch Installation Manual

Chapter 1 Product Overview
The Fibre Channel switching modules provide system-wide power management and autonegotiation,
which allows ports to negotiate for speed at the other end of the link. Each module has temperature
sensors and an EEPROM that stores serial number and model number information.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers that can be
short wavelength (SWL) or long wavelength (LWL). The port interfaces also support coarse
wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long
wavelength (ELWL) transmission or for CWDM. See the
page
The internal bootflash installed on the modules are not field-replaceable units. Do not remove or replace

internal bootflash on the modules. Modifying the factory-installed bootflash is not supported.

48-Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module offers 48 autosensing 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre
Channel ports and can be used in any of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series chassis and in the Cisco MDS 9222i,
9216i, and 9216A Switches. The 48-port switching module can be configured in one of two operational
modes: shared bandwidth mode (default) and dedicated bandwidth mode.
