Oracle Fabric Interconnect Overview
Channel modules for SAN connectivity. The Fabric Interconnect F1-15 supports any mixture of
up to 15 I/O modules for network and SAN connectivity.
Server connectivity is supported through the Fabric Interconnect's Fabric Board, can be ordered
for specific connection types:
■
InfiniBand (IB) connections of Double Data Rate (DDR) are supported through an
InfiniBand Fabric Board that has 24 individual server ports. The IB server connections are
at 10 Gbps or Double Data Rate (DDR) at 20 Gbps based on the speeds supported in your
network.
■
InfiniBand connections of Quadruple Data Rate (QDR) are supported through an InfiniBand
Fabric Board that has 20 individual server ports. The IB server connections are at 20 Gbps
(DDR), or Quadruple Data Rate at 40 Gbps based on the speeds supported in your network.
Figure 30, “Fabric Interconnect F1-15 Front and Rear Panel Components,” on page 59
shows the front and back of the Fabric Interconnect F1-15. Additional information for the
Fabric Interconnect F1-15 hardware platform can be found in this document.
Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4
The Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is a enterprise-class, 2 rack-unit Fabric Interconnect
which provides server connectivity to network and storage resources. The Fabric Interconnect
F1-4 supports up to 4 of the same 1 GE, 10 GE, and Fibre Channel modules as Oracle Fabric
Interconnect F1-15 flagship product.
Server connectivity is supported through the Fabric Interconnect's Fabric Board, can be ordered
for specific connection types:
■
InfiniBand (IB) connections of Double Data Rate (DDR) are supported through an
InfiniBand Fabric Board that has 24 individual server ports. The IB server connections are
at 20 Gbps (DDR) based on the speeds supported in your network.
■
InfiniBand connections of Quadruple Data Rate (QDR) are supported through an InfiniBand
Fabric Board that has 20 individual server ports. The IB server connections are at 20 Gbps
(DDR), or Quadruple Data Rate at 40 Gbps based on the speeds supported in your network.
Because the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is half the size of the Fabric Interconnect F1-15, the
Fabric Interconnect F1-4's smaller form factor allows for higher rack density by consuming
fewer rack units when compared to the Fabric Interconnect F1-15. Figure 32, “Fabric
Interconnect F1-4 Front and Rear Panel Components,” on page 60 shows the front and
back of the Fabric Interconnect F1-4. Additional information for the Fabric Interconnect F1-4
