I/O Expansion Module- Optical/Optical

This 2Gb FC expansion module has two SFF LC optical connectors. The
top connector is the FC Loop Input port and the bottom connector is
for FC Loop Expansion. A loop back terminator is not required.

Altos S700 RAID Controller

The Altos S700 RAID Controller is a high performance controller,
providing two host fibre channel

and two device fibre channel

interfaces. It is an intelligent, caching controller that supports
RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 0+1, and JBOD. The controller enables
multiple hosts to access an array of disk drives, which can be
configured as one or more virtual storage devices (logical units).
