Installing the FibreBridge 4500C/R/D
1
Physically place the FibreBridge 4500 where you
want it, horizontally on a desktop or into a rack.
2
Connect the SCSI devices to the FibreBridge.
(See Chapter 2.3)
3
Connect the FibreBridge to your SAN: attach
short wave optical cables into the Fibre Channel
ports on the FibreBridge. (See Chapter 2.4)
4
Connect to the management (services) port via
the RS-232 serial port, Ethernet, or in-band SCSI
over Fibre Channel. (See Chapter 4)
5
Use ATTO BridgeTools™, a graphical interface
utility enclosed with your FibreBridge, or the
Command Line Interface, map your devices to
the appropriate Fibre Channel ports. (See
Chapter 3.1 and Chapter 4.1.8)
6
Boot the computers on the SAN and set up the
configuration for the devices connected to the
FibreBridge.
Mounting on a rack
➔
You may install “L” brackets so that either the front
or the connector side of the FibreBridge 4500 can
be facing front. The mounting holes on the “L”-
bracket fit a standard 19-inch rack using a centered
1.25-inch (31.7 mm) hole pattern.
➔
The ATTO FibreBridge 4500R weighs about 10
pounds. Be careful when installing it a rack.
➔
Always stack the rack from the bottom up to ensure
a stable and safe rack.
➔
Minimum rack depth: 10 inches.
➔
Make sure the power requirements of the ATTO
FibreBridge 4500R plus the cumulative power
draw of the other equipment in the rack do not
overload the supply circuit and/or wiring of the
rack.
➔
Properly ground the FibreBridge 4500R to the rack
equipment. The earth ground connection must be
maintained when supply connection is other than
direct connection to the branch circuit.
➔
Install the FibreBridge horizontally within the rack
so it does not reduce the air flow within the rack.
The maximum ambient temperature for the ATTO
FibreBridge 4500R should not exceed 50° C
Exhibit 2.2-1
The ATTO FibreBridge 4500R/D: place horizontally on desktop or in rack. Note cooling pattern:
overheating can shut down the FibreBridge. Do not block air vents.
