The ATTO FibreBridge 7500 is a high-performance storage controller which adds 16-Gigabit Fibre Channel
connectivity to 12-Gigabit SAS or SATA storage devices.
The FibreBridge 7500 is available in an industry-
standard 1U form factor for easy integration into racks.
Dimensions
Width: 17 inches
Length: 11 inches
Height: 1.7 inches (1U)
Weight: approximately 10 pounds
Cooling and airflow
Operating temperature: 5-40 °C external
Humidity: 10-90% non-condensing
Air enters from the front and is exhausted out the
connector side. Ambient air near the inlets should not
exceed 40°C. The unit automatically stops operation if
the temperature goes beyond this threshold.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not block the enclosure's vents. The
FibreBridge does not allow data transfer if
overheating occurs.
Power
The 7500 features two hot swappable power supplies
and can be operated with only a single power supply
inserted. Each power supply has a standard IEC320
power receptacle and cooling fan. The power
requirements of the ATTO FibreBridge 7500 plus the
power draw of other equipment in the rack must not
overload the supply circuit and or wiring of this rack.
Input voltage: 100-240; VAC 1A; 50/60Hz.
Fibre Channel ports
The dual independent 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports
connect the FastStream 7500 to Fibre Channel hosts
using optical SFP+ connectors and multimode fiber
optic cable. Make sure all cables are anchored
securely at both ends with the proper connectors.

1.1 ATTO FibreBridge 7500
SAS/SATA ports
The four (x4) 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectors connect
storage devices into the Storage Area Network (SAN)
using mini-SAS HD cable plug connectors.
Management ports
Management is provided using the dual
100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports accessible from two
right angle RJ-45 connectors, or the RS-232 serial
header console port accessible from the serial RJ-45
connector.
LED indicators
LED indicators can be viewed from the connector side
and the front side of the FibreBridge 7500.
LEDs on the connector side are:
Power Supplies: One LED for each supply. Blue
indicates on and ready, while blinking Red indicates an
unplugged or failed supply.
Ready/Alert: On one shared LED a lit green means
ready, yellow indicates an alert condition.
Ethernet port connectors: A green LED embedded
in each Ethernet port connector indicates Link/Activity,
where green solid indicates link, blinking indicates
activity and OFF means no link is present. A second
green LED embedded in each Ethernet port connector
indicates connection speed, where green solid
indicates either a 100MbE or 1000MbE connection.
Fibre Channel port: A lit green LED indicates link,
and OFF means no link. FC Port LEDs are located
next to the SFP connectors.
SAS/SATA device: SAS LEDs are located below the
mini-SAS HD connector. A lit green LED indicates a
link has been established on at least one PHY, and
OFF means there are no links.
