3 ATTO FibreCenter 3400 characteristics
ATTO FibreCenter 3400 is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel hub configured with eight (8) Fibre Channel ports
and an Ethernet management port. The FibreCenter 3400 is designed to integrate industry leading
performance and Storage Area Network (SAN) capabilities into mid-range applications by providing a
high-speed, central connection point for Fibre Channel connections.
The FibreCenter 3400 Fibre Channel rack system
design provides maximum dependable
performance for high availability systems through
a hot-swappable, dual power module.
The FibreCenter 3400 module is housed in one
module bay of a dual module, 1U high, industry
standard rack enclosure complete with mounting
brackets. Using two modules in a rack provides a
maximum port density of 16 SFP ports and
redundant power and cooling in a full width 1U
rack.
The unit may be configured as one 8-port hub
(Zone 1) or two 4-port hubs (Zones 2 and 3).
When configured as Zones 2 and 3, the
FibreCenter allows each 4-port zone to run at
different speeds (1Gb or 2Gb). Configuration is
managed through a 10BaseT Ethernet port.
