Note: Each SAS wide port supports 4 independent SAS channels or phys.

You can use either wide port as the initial port.

Connecting the Fibre Channel Interface

The supported link speeds are dependent on the Fibre Channel card that is installed. The supported

link speeds for each card are listed below.

Fibre Channel Card Speed

Supported Link Speeds

8Gb

2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb

16Gb

4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb

It is not necessary to specify which link speed you are using as the Appliance will automatically
negotiate the best speed when first powered up.

To connect to the Fibre Channel network, a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interface module

must be inserted into the SFP receptacle at the back of the Appliance as shown in the following
image.

Note: Only use SFP transceivers that meet or exceed the following standards:

EU: IEC/EN 60825-1, North America: FCC, CDRH

Note: SFPs will come pre-installed when a Fibre Channel card has been
purchased with your configuration.

The following multi-mode optical fibre cables are supported up to the lengths given:
