Memory specifications
The switch has three types of memory devices with the following capacities:
v Boot flash: 4 MB
v Compact flash: 1 GB
v Main memory (SDRAM): 2 GB
Port specifications
Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the switch are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL
SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of
transceiver in use. The ports are capable of operating at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps
and are able to auto-negotiate to the maximum link speed.
GbE port specifications
The GbE ports in the switch are compatible with short range (SR) and long range
(LR) SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of
transceiver in use. These ports are capable of operating at up to 1 Gbps. The 8
virtual FCIP Fibre Channel links over each physical Ethernet connection share this
bandwidth.
Serial port specifications
The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The switch uses an RJ-45
connector for the serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is also provided with the
switch.
Note: To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not
The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP
address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port
parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set
to None.
