Port Side Of The San384B-2 (Sample Configuration) - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

– Blades use small form-factor pluggable (SFP+, and mSFP) optical transceivers.
SFP+ and mSFP transceivers support speeds of 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gbps.
Note: The 8-Gbps SFP+s and mSFPs auto-negotiate at 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The
16-Gbps SFP+s auto-negotiate at 4, 8, and 16 Gbps. The 10 Gbps speeds
must be manually set and require special 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
– QSFP-based inter-chassis link (ICL) cabling running at 64 Gbps (four 16 Gbps
clustered in a single quad connector and cable).
v Port-side exhaust kit (standard), which directs the exhaust airflow to the cabinet
service aisle
v All blades are serviced from the port side of the SAN384B-2. Blowers, power
supplies, and power cables are serviced from the nonport side
v World Wide Name (WWN) cards on the nonport side, with WWN status LEDs
located under the bezel
v Two vertical cable management finger assemblies and a chassis door provide for
efficient cable management.
Note: Airflow in the SAN384B-2 is from the non-port (non-cable) side to the left
side and port side of the chassis. With the port-side exhaust kit installed (see
Figure 2 on page 4, all air flows out the vents on the port side of the chassis.
Figure 1 shows a sample configuration of the port side of the SAN384B-2 with four
FC8-48 port blades installed.
