Connectrix Models

Base Cabinet Models
ED-140M
The Connectrix service processor contains two Ethernet ports:
• 10/100 Mbps interface into the data center's Ethernet system.
• 10/100 Mbps interface to the Ethernet hub in the EC-1200.
Iomega Zip drive for backing up your configuration. The drive is
necessary only in the cabinet containing the Connectrix service
processor.
Connectrix Manager software, installed on the Connectrix service
processor. The software provides a central point of control for
managing the components of the cabinet(s), and includes
software components for each managed product.
External modem (56 kilobytes/second), for service and support
of the managed products.
Dual AC power strips and dual AC power inputs for redundancy,
with externally accessable (tripoff-protected) power switches
mounted on the rear door of the cabinet.
Each EC-1200 cabinet can hold up to:
Two ED-1032 Directors
Four ED-64M Directors
Three ED-140M Directors
Twelve DS-xxM Switches
Several combinations of the above. Refer to Guidelines for
Installing Directors and Switches on page 1-11.
This section describes the models of Connectrix Director and Switch.
These EMC model numbers are associated with the base
configuration of the cabinet:
EC-1200 — Connectrix cabinet
SP-1004 — Connectrix service processor, modem, and ZIP drive,
all of which are mounted on the inside of the front door of the
EC-1200
The ED-140M (shown in Figure 1-1) is a 140-port director-class switch
that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel
servers and devices in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment.
Directors are managed and controlled through the Connectrix service
processor. Remote user workstations can also be used in addition to a
server for remote management and control of directors.
