The ATTO FibreBridge 1180E is a 1 by 1 (one Fibre Channel port with one SCSI port) Fibre Channel-
to-SCSI bridge for standard applications available in vertical or horizontal interface in the embedded
version. The bridge is designed for high throughput enterprise environments and mission-critical
applications.
The form factor and low cost make the
FibreBridge 1180E an attractive solution to
convert SCSI devices to Fibre Channel and enable
direct connection to Storage Area Networks
(SANs).
• Serverless backup support for SNIA extended
copy command
• Support for manual and auto LUN mapping
• Operating system independent
Board dimensions
Length: 5.59 in. (14.2 cm)
Width: 3.89 in. (9.9 cm)
Environmental requirements
Temperature: 0-40° C
Ambient air should not exceed 40°C.
Humidity: 10-90% non-condensing
Power
Power (+5VDC and +12VDC) is supplied
through a standard 4-pin connector: Amp Part no
641737-1.The 1180E is designed to have 5%
tolerance to the power supply. A switching
regulator generates the 3.3 VDC from the 12
VDC, requiring 0.75A at 12VDC
Fibre Channel port
The Fibre Channel port can connect the
FibreBridge to either a Fabric or Arbitrated Loop.
• 1.0625 gigahertz (80 MB/sec.)
• Class 2 and Class 3 ANSI Fibre Channel
specifications support
• PLDA, Public Loop Login (NL_port) and Fabric
Direct Connect (N_port) support
• Full Duplex transmission support
• MIA compliant DB-9 or Short Wave fiber optic

SCSI port
The SCSI port on the FibreBridge 1180E connects
storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (SAN) using an Ultra 2 (LVD)
SCSI bus, downward compatible with all forms of
single-ended SCSI.
Serial port
The RS-232 serial port provides support for
remote monitoring and management through a
command line interface, menu system or
graphical interface (ATTO Technology
BridgeTools).
