1. FAStT FC-2 Host Bus Adapter (P/N 24P0960) includes an integrated short-wave SFF Module, supporting short-wave connections only.
2. Fibre Channel connections to the FAStT EXP500 require GBICs. LC-LC Fibre Channel cable does not connect directly into a GBIC. LC-SC Fibre Channel Adapter Cable (P/N
19K1250) is required. Use SC Fibre Channel cable for daisy-chaining FAStT EXP500 units (see the Supported Cable Groups chart for a list of SC cables).
3. Buffering the long-wave optic cable expanse with a second switch or hub at the remote storage location is required to requalify the signal.
• P = primary path, S = secondary (redundant) path
• Shaded boxes represent separate hosts.
• Cable groups are represented by letters.
• Maximum of 220 external storage HDDs are supported through a maximum of 11 enclosures in each channel pair (22 enclosures total).
• 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 FAStT500 EXP500 storage connections. FAStT700 and 2Gb FC switch connections require SFP Modules. LC-SC FC
Adapter Cables are required to connect LC-LC FC cables to GBICs in FAStT EXP500 connections. GBICs, SFP Modules and adapter cables are not depicted in these diagrams.
See device drawings at the end of this section for details.
• For specific requirements concerning connections, refer to the Fibre Device Ports Reference or Fibre Interconnection Guidelines.
Refer to the Supported Cable Groups chart following the FAStT 200 configuration examples for cable type definitions.
