•
Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long-distance native FC connectivity.
•
10Gb/s Fibre Channel integration on any selected port provides DWDM metro connectivity on the same switch.
•
Port-to-port latency is minimized to 900 nanoseconds (including FEC) by using cut-through frame switching at 32Gb/s.
•
High performance T1022 processor with two cores operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and advanced
Fabric Vision functionality.
•
One 1000/100/10Mb/s RJ-45 connector for the Ethernet management connection. In conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, this
port supports switch IP address discovery and configuration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to configure the switch
IP address.
•
One RS-232 3-wire (Tx, Rx, and Gnd) universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) serial port to BMC with an RJ-45
connector for debugging initial switch setup (if not using EZSwitchSetup) and factory default restoration. Integral LEDs remain
unlit at all times.
•
One internal e-USB module provides 2 GB of persistent storage, increased serviceability, and error logging functionality by
facilitating easier firmware upgrades and downloads of the system log files.
•
One external USB connector.
•
Two hot-swappable redundant integrated power supply and fan assembly field-replaceable units.
•
48 hot-pluggable SFP+ optical transceiver slots and 4 hot-pluggable QSFP optical transceiver slots.
•
64 bicolor (green/amber) LEDs to indicate the status for each port.
•
One green LED to indicate valid system power.
•
One bicolor (green/amber) LED to indicate the system status.
•
Two Ethernet LEDs: one bicolor (green/amber) LED to indicate link speed of 1000/100/10Mb/s and one green LED to
indicate activity.
•
SEEPROM for switch identification.
•
Real-time power monitoring.
•
Real-time voltage monitoring.
•
Real-time fan monitoring including airflow direction.
•
Real-time digital thermometers for temperature monitoring.
•
Real-time clock (RTC) with battery.
