Component description
Two-port 10-Gb/s Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) I/O module
The two-port 10-Gb/s FCoE I/O module (labeled 10 GbE/FCoE on the latch handle) comes
with two optical ports, one power/fault LED, and a link and activity LED for each port, as
shown in
. The two-port 10-Gb/s FCoE I/O module uses the SFP+ transceiver
module (see the section describing the SFP and SFP+
“Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module” on
for more information about the SFP and SFP+ modules).
Note: The FCoE I/O module can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a type
of cable similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be
supplied in lieu of SFPs when so ordered.
Note: If the FCoE I/O module is located in slot 0, connect the tape backup device to any
two ports of an FC I/O module in a different slot, for more information about connecting
the four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module to a Tape Backup, refer to the chapter describing the
“Optional tape backup device cables” in the
EMC VNX VG2/VG8 Gateway Configuration
Setup Guide.
