Fibre Channel Interface
The WMS100 subsystem supports open system operations. The WMS100 subsystem supports
up to 2 fibre-channel ports. Each WMS100 Fibre Channel interface is capable of operating at
data transfer speeds of up to 200 MB/sec. The WMS100 extends up to 4 Fibre Channel ports
by adding optional FC interface board.
The WMS100 supports shortwave multimode optical cables. With these shortwave fibre
channel cables, the WMS100 subsystem can be located up to 300 meters from the open-
system host.
Note:
For the interface, refer to Appendix D.
4.3.1
Mini-HUB
When the FC interface board is not added to the control unit, the host interface of WMS100
has Mini-HUB in the control unit, and enhances one port to two host connectors. However,
the link status between the host and the WMS100 is recognized as one port.
