Connectors and Ports
The Fibre Channel Hub has these connectors and ports:
•
one 10-Base-T Ethernet management port, on the front panel
The Fibre Channel Hub Ethernet management port does not support 100-Base-T.
•
one serial console port, on the front panel, for connection to a host for management
purposes
•
one power connector for the hub, on the rear panel
This connector is autoranging. A power on/off switch is located above the power
cord socket on the Fibre Channel Hub, as shown in Figure 1-4. See “System
Specifications” on page 75 in Appendix A for voltage and power requirements.
•
ten copper DB-9 fibre channel ports, all fully digital
All ten ports are functionally identical.
For any of these ports, you can use copper or fibre optic cabling. Fibre optic cabling
requires a media interface adapter (MIA) at each end of the cable. See
“Compatibilities, Fibre Channel Cables, and Adapters” on page 9.
