The ATTO FibreBridge 2350C is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel-to- SCSI bridge configured with one Fibre
Channel port and two independent SCSI busses (1x2) designed to integrate industry leading
performance and Storage Area Network (SAN) capabilities into midrange and enterprise-level storage
systems. It includes battery backed up memory, verbose trace log capabilities and date/time stamp.
The 2-Gigabit FibreBridge 2350C includes one
Fibre Channel port and two SCSI ports and
conforms to the height of four standard rack units
(4U of cPCI form factor). ATTO Technology
FibreBridge software executes from the Intel
80303, an integrated I960JT processor and PCI-
PCI bridge.

Power
A cPCI connector or a custom 6-pin connector
through a Hot Swap controller circuit and
generates +3.3V via a switching regulator which
generates +2.5V through a linear regulator.
Current draw for a +5V input is 4.0A.

1.7 ATTO FibreBridge 2350C
The auto recharging battery backs up event log
RAM and assures data retention for 30 days
without host power.The battery, shipped from the
factory fully charged, is automatically recharged
when power is restored to the system. It may take
up to 1.5 days to charge the battery.
SCSI ports
The LSI 53C1010 SCSI controller provides
interface with two Ultra 3 LVD SCSI busses.
They connect storage devices into the Fibre
Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Each port
is totally independent from the other.
Dual VHDCI 68-pin SCSI connectors on the
board's faceplate allow up to 15 devices per
channel and are downward compatible with all
forms of single-ended SCSI.
Fibre Channel port
The single 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel port connects
the FibreBridge to either a Fabric or Arbitrated
Loop.
• Qlogic ISP2310 Fibre Channel controller with a
copper or optical SFP module interface.
• 2.125 gigabit/sec.
• Class 2, Class 3 and ANSI Fibre Channel
specifications support
• PLDA, Public Loop Login (NL_port) and Fabric
Direct Connect (N_port) support
• Full Duplex transmission support
• Operating system independent
• Supports all SCSI devices including hard disk
drives, tape drives, RAID controllers, DVD, MO
& CD libraries
