Storage Area Network (SAN). The ED-48000B director is the highest-performance and highest-scalability director offered by EMC. It satisfies the most demanding Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS), performance, and scalability requirements of a director, while delivering investment protection, interoperability, and fabric-based intelligence advantages.
Supports 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbit/sec auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports. Trunking technology groups up to eight ports to create high performance 32-Gbit/sec ISL trunks between switches. Universal ports self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports. EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual...
Overview Hardware components The ED-48000B features a modular and scalable mechanical construction that allows a wide range of flexibility in installation, fabric design, and maintenance. The ED-48000B consists of the following: Up to eight hot-swappable port blade assemblies, which can be configured in a single chassis, delivering up to 384 Fibre Channel ports Two slots for control processor (CP) blade assemblies (slots 5 and...

Invisible Body Tag Installation, Setup, and Login This chapter contains the following information: Overview ..................... 30 Time and items required ..............31 Site planning and safety guidelines ..........32 Items included with the ED-48000B ..........34 Providing power to the ED-48000B ..........35 Establishing a serial connection ............
IMPORTANT EMC recommends that the installation of the ED-48000B be performed by trained EMC service personnel. The content in this chapter is being provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be a "how to" manual for customer set up of the ED-48000B.
Installation, Setup, and Login Time and items required Table 1 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for each, based on a fully populated ED-48000B switch (384 Fibre Channel ports). Configurations containing fewer than 384 ports require less time. These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.
4. Ensure that two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available: • 200–40 VAC, 50–60 Hz • Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual...
