Sfp Transceivers, Fiber Optic, And Sas Cables - Dell PowerVault MD3800f Owner's Manual

power failure is less likely to cause loss of data. The RAID controller automatically switches to write-
through if cache mirroring is disabled, or if the battery is missing, or has a fault condition.

SFP Transceivers, Fiber Optic, and SAS Cables

FC host connections may operate at 16 Gbps or at a lower data rate. Ports for 16 Gbps FC host
connections require SFP transceivers designed for this data rate. SFP transceivers that support other data
rates are incompatible.
WARNING: Do not disassemble or remove any part of a small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
transceiver due to the possibility of being exposed to laser radiation.
NOTE: Your SFP transceivers and cables may look different from the ones shown below. The
differences do not affect the performance of the SFP transceivers.
