Introduction

The SBD module operates at 1 or 2 Gb/s.
• The SBD module has four external ports with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC modules,
with auto-bypass at the output ports. Any of these SFPs can be used as an IN or OUT connector,
providing either connection to the host controllers or expansion connections, up to a maximum of 5
additional enclosures in Address Mode 1 or 6 additional enclosures in Address Mode 0.
• Insertion or removal of any device connection to an active host, or insertion or removal of a drive,
will cause a LIP to occur. (This feature may be optionally disabled, please contact your supplier for
details).
• If the multi-port trunking feature is enabled then a string of enclosures may be connected with a
maximum of 2 FC interconnect cables between each enclosure. Without this feature only 1 FC link
may be used in a string of enclosures.
• All 4 host connectors may be routed to separate hosts, the internal switch will provide non blocking
FC-AL data routing to all devices in the enclosure.
• The module also incorporates an RS232, 6 pin Mini-DIN connector
(factory use only)
