C14.
Dual, hot-swappable, redundant, AC input power supplies with integrated system cooling fans. DC
power supplies are not supported on the Brocade G720 Switch.
Fans are integrated into each power supply and fan assembly.
Port side to the nonport side of the switch (nonport-side exhaust) and nonport side to the port side
(port-side exhaust).
Nonblocking shared memory switch.
56 SFP+ ports that support any combination of short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL)
optical media.
Each of the 56 SFP+ ports supports 8, 10, 16, 32, and 64Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds.
The SFP+ ports are capable of autonegotiating to 8, 16, 32, or 64Gb/s speeds depending on the
SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
•
A 64Gb/s optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 64Gb/s, 32Gb/s, or 16Gb/s.
•
A 32Gb/s optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 32Gb/s, 16Gb/s, or 8Gb/s.
•
A 10Gb/s optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 10Gb/s.
FC-PH (Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface standard).
Fibre Channel Class 2 and Class 3.
Complies with FC-SW-3 Rev. 6.6.
Complies with FC-IP 2.3 of the FCA profile.
48 LEDs (green/amber) for the first 48 SFP+ ports and 8 tri-color LEDs (green/amber/white) for the
last 8 SFP+ ports: 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, and 62. The last set of LEDs pulse once in white before
indicating the FC port status in green or amber. All functionalities pertaining to the green/amber
colors for the last 8 LEDs remain the same as the first 48 LEDs.
UART mini-USB.
One 100/1000Mb/s Ethernet port.
One external USB port.
