Fibre Channel Pass-through Module
The Fibre Channel pass-through module provides a bypass connection
between a Fibre Channel mezzanine card in the blade and optical transceivers
for direct connection into a Fibre Channel switch or a storage array (see
Figure 1-21). The 16 pass-through ports on this module can negotiate speeds
of 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps. The Fibre Channel pass-through modules are hot-
pluggable, and may be installed in Fabric B or Fabric C. Table 1-15 and list
the functionality of the indicators on each individual Fibre Channel
connector. For general information on installing this module, see "I/O
Modules" on page 166.
NOTE:
To ensure proper functionality, use only the Short Wave Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceivers provided with this module.
