Hardware features
The Brocade G610 switch offers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 24 auto-sensing ports supporting 32-Gbps SFP+ technology in a single domain.
• Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-POD) scaling from a base configuration of 8 ports to 24 ports (two 8-port SFP+ POD).
• 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch ports.
– A 32-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 32 Gbps, 16 Gbps, or 8 Gbps.
– A 16-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 4 Gbps.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum speed supported by the optical transceivers at the either end of the
link.
• Universal ports self-configure as a E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or D_Ports.
– A Diagnostic Port (D_Port) provides diagnostics, troubleshooting, and verification services for the physical media.
• One built-in fixed power supply unit (not a FRU) with a port-side power inlet.
• Four integrated fans (no fan FRUs) for cooling the system. This allows a single fan failure and permits the switch to continue to
function properly if a fan fails. Only nonport-side intake airflow for cooling is supported.
– If one fan fails and the temperature is less than 56C, the fans run at high speed. If the temperatures increases more than
56C, a critical temperature warning is displayed and the device shuts down in two minutes.
– If two fans fail and the temperature is less than 55C, the fans run at high speed. If the temperature increases more than
55C, a critical temperature warning is displayed and the device shuts down in two minutes.
– If the third fans fails, a warning is displayed and the device is immediately shut down.
• Hardware-enabled input and output (I/O) latency statistics collection.
• Hardware-enabled VM support.
• 1U chassis that can be installed as a standalone unit or mounted in a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 48.26cm
(19 inches) cabinet or rack.
• Support for Brocade small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers in any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media.
• Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long distance native FC connectivity.
• Port-to-port latency is minimized to 900 nanoseconds including FEC using cut-through frame switching at 32 Gbps.
• A dual-core T1022E processor operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and advanced Fabric Vision
functionality.
