ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual

 1.4  ATTO iPBridge 1550E

The iPBridge 1550E includes a single Ethernet port which may be used for either data transfer or 
configuration, a serial management port and a SCSI port. 

Dimensions

Length:  

6.4 inches 

Width:  

4.4 inches 

Height of the tallest component:  

.536 inches

Environment

Operating Temperature:  

5-40° C external 

Ambient air should not exceed 40°C.

Humidity: 

10-90% non-condensing

Recommended airflow:  

11 cubic feet per minute

Power 

The iP1550E board may be powered from a 4-pin 
connector. 

Input voltage:  

12V DC ±10% derived from a 4-

pin connection. 

Power draw:  

12V, 1.7 amps 

Reset switch

A manual reset switch is mounted on the board 
near the serial port. 

SCSI port

The SCSI port on the iPBridge 1550E connects 
storage devices into the Storage Area Network 
(SAN). The port is an Ultra 3 LVD/SE SCSI bus 
with 68-pin “P” interface: 160 MB/sec. maximum 
throughput, downward compatible with all forms 
of single-ended SCSI.

The iPBridge supports SCSI devices including 
hard disk drives, tape drives, RAID controllers, 
DVD, MO and CD libraries.

Ethernet port

The 10/100/1000 GbE RJ45 Ethernet port uses the 
Intel 8254x family gigabit Ethernet chipset to 
support Telnet-based data transfer and 
management through a an ASCII-based command 
line interface or ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-
based interface.
GbE cables must be at least CAT-5E certified for 
1000 Mb/sec. use. 

Serial port

The RS-232 serial port provides support for 
remote monitoring and management through a 
command line interface. It is set at the factory at 
115,200 bps.

LED indicators

Activity:  

A green LED in the middle of the 

iPBridge blinks to show the unit is ready and to 
identify the iPBridge when the CLI command

 

IdentifyBridge 

is enabled. It goes dark when 

there is SCSI activity.

SCSI Activity:  

the SCSI bus has an LED which is 

lit when the iPBridge is ready and goes dark when 
there is SCSI activity.
