Switch Operating Features

Overview

The Connectrix DS-32M2 (shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-4) is a
32-port Fibre Channel switch that provides high-performance
connections between computers, storage devices, and other
peripherals in an Open Systems Fibre Channel switched network.

The DS-32M2 can transfer data at up to 2.125 Gb/s (gigabits per
second) through each port at distances up to 300 meters (500 meters if
the port is set to 1 Gb/s) using 50/125-micron multimode fiber-optic
cable with shortwave laser transceivers and up to 20 kilometers using
9/125 micron single-mode fiber-optic cable with longwave laser
transceivers.

The DS-32M2 is managed and controlled through one of these:

◆

The Connectrix Manager and DS-32M2 Product Manager
applications installed on the Connectrix service processor in an
EC-1200 cabinet. (Multiple switches and the Connectrix service
processor communicate on a LAN through one or more 10Base-T
Ethernet hubs.)

◆

An EMC CLARiiON

®

cabinet or customer system with an

Internet connection to the Embedded Web Server interface
installed on the switch.

The DS-32M2 can be installed on a table or desk top, mounted in an
EMC EC-1200 equipment cabinet, or mounted in any standard
19-inch equipment rack.

The DS-32M2 implements Fibre Channel technology that provides
high-performance scalable bandwidth (2 Gb/s), highly available
operation, and high device population.
