ATTO Technology FibreBridge 3300D Installation and Operation Manual
2 ATTO FibreBridge supports diverse SAN needs
The ATTO FibreBridge
family of products provides a Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge available as a
Compact PCI board, a stand alone enclosure that can be fitted for rackmount integration, or a desktop
unit, depending on the model and your needs.
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products share
common configuration options and functions to
provide the most versatile connectivity options
available. Each product has been engineered to
address specific customer needs. New capabilities
are integrated into products throughout the
FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring
only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them
into your SAN (see Chapter 12). To make sure
you have the most up-to-date version of the
firmware, visit the ATTO Technology website,
www.attotech.com.
All ATTO FibreBridge models include full duplex
mode, Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect
capabilities.
The FibreBridge 3300R includes one Fibre
Channel port and two SCSI ports. It may be
installed horizontally into a standard 19-inch
enclosure (see Chapter 3).
ATTO Technology FibreBridge software executes
from the Intel 80303, an integrated I960JT
processor and PCI-PCI bridge.
