Chassis

The IBM SAN50C-R Switch has a nonremovable supervisor module with 40
integrated 16-Gbps FC ports and eight 10-Gbps Ethernet Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE) ports.
The IBM IBM SAN50C-R Switch also has these additional modules.
v A 2 port 1/10-Gbps Ethernet IP storage services module
v A USB port on the front panel for code uploads, configuration file backups, log
v A nonremovable interface module (located on the left side of the integrated
v Three power supplies that are redundant by default
v Two hot-swappable fans that are redundant by default
IBM IBM SAN50C-R Integrated Supervisor Module
The nonremovable IBM IBM SAN50C-R integrated supervisor module provides the
control and management functions of the IBM IBM SAN50C-R Multiservice Fabric
switch, and it includes 40 integrated 16-Gbps Fibre Channel switching ports and
eight 10-Gbps Ethernet Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) port modules.
The IBM IBM SAN50C-R integrated supervisor module has a PowerPC 8572E
processor. It also has an internal CompactFlash card that provides 4 GB of storage
for software images. The NVRAM consists of a battery, a battery controller and 512
Kx16 SRAM. SRAM used to store event logs, core dumps that are required to be
stored after a power cycles.
The IBM Storage Networking SAN50C-R Switch fan modules have a fixed handle
for inserting and removing from the chassis. The IBM SAN50C-R Switch requires a
minimum of one and a maximum of two operating fan modules. This provides
redundancy for uninterrupted operation in the event of fan module failure. The
IBM SAN50C-R Switch fan modules are hot-swappable to allow swapping out of a
fan module during operation for uninterrupted operation. Fan blank modules must
be installed in empty fan bays when operating for longer than several minutes to
provide correct airflow. If the airflow is inadequate the preset temperature
thresholds will be exceeded and the system will automatically shut down to

Note: To obtain grid level redundancy, it is recommended that you use a dual
power source ATS with the switch. For more information, see Power Supplies.
