directors (front-end) The Fibre Channel front-end director has eight FC ANSI compliant,
4 Gb/s (also configurable to 2 Gb/s, and 1 Gb/s) Fibre Channel
interfaces for connection to host systems. The director has eight
high-speed paths to global memory. The Fibre Channel director
interfaces to the host channels through an eight-port Fibre Channel
interface adapter and is available in single-mode and multimode
configurations (
Table 17 on page 77 ). Each Symmetrix DMX Fibre
Channel director supports eight internal links to global memory. Data
transfers between host and global memory can execute concurrently
across all Fibre Channel ports on a director.
