1. FAStT Host Adapter (P/N 00N6881) supports short-wave connections only.
2. Buffering the long-wave optic cable expanse with a second switch or hub at the remote storage location is required to requalify the signal. A managed hub supports only one
long-wave GBIC.
• P = primary path, S = secondary (redundant) path
• Shaded boxes represent separate hosts.
• Cable groups are represented by letters.
• Maximum of 60 external storage HDDs are supported for optimum performance (up to 10 in the storage server with the remainder in expansion units).
• The number of servers that can be used in configurations with managed hubs or Fibre Channel switches are dependent on partitioning restrictions of the management system
or cluster software.
• An optional short- or long-wave GBIC is required for all FAStT200 storage server and FAStT EXP500 storage connections. GBICs are not depicted in these diagrams. See device
drawings at the end of this section for details.
• Other Fibre Channel devices may not require optional GBICs. For specific requirements, see the Fibre Device Ports Reference.
Refer to the following Supported Cable Groups chart for cable type definitions.
