Fibre Channel port specifications

The following sections summarize Fibre Channel Port specifications.
2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Fibre Channel port
specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N are compatible with SWL and LWL
SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
The ports operate at 2.125 Gb/sec or 1.0625 Gb/sec, and autosense to the highest speed of
all attached devices.
4/32 Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the SAN Switch 4/32 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWLW
SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, or 4 Gbps and are able to autonegotiate to the
higher of 1 or 2 Gbps. Operation at 4 Gbps must be set manually.

Serial port specifications

The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. It is a three-wire RS–232 port with a
DB–9 male connector, designed to connect to a DTE port.
NOTE:
To protect the serial port from dust and ESD, keep the cover in place on the serial port
when the port is not in use.
The serial port can connect to a computer workstation to configure the switch IP address
without connecting to the fabric. The serial port's parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
The port requires a straight serial cable with a female 9-pin subminiature-D connector. Only
pins 2, 3, and 5 are supported.
