Introduction

This User’s Guide explains how to install and use the Chaparral™ VFS226 router. This
member of the Velocity family of routers is a Fibre Channel (FC)-to-Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI) router that enables connectivity between SCSI devices and
storage area networks (SANs). The router provides Fibre Channel connection to SCSI
devices allowing them to be attached to either a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)
or switched fabric.

The router allows SCSI and Fibre Channel devices to communicate seamlessly by
converting data to the appropriate protocol and routing it to the desired destination.

The router supports a variety of SCSI devices including:

I

Hard disk drives

I

Tape drives and libraries

I

Optical devices and libraries

I

RAID controllers
