Stratus ftServer 29x0, 49x0, and 69x0 Systems: Site Planning and Installation Guide
(R786)
Planning for Network Connectivity
❏
All ftServer 2900, 4900, and 6900 systems contain four embedded 1-gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) ports that operate at 10 or 100 Megabits-per-second (Mbps) or at
1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps). In addition, four embedded 10GbE ports that operate
at 100 Mbps or at 1 or 10 Gbps are standard on ftServer 4900 and ftServer 6900
systems. Also, you can add optional Ethernet PCI adapters to provide additional
Ethernet bandwidth.
In
, indicate the number of Ethernet ports you will use, and plan network
connections accordingly.
Planning for External Storage Options
❏
Will your system connect to external Fibre Channel storage enclosures? If so, the
system requires a pair of Fibre Channel HBAs, which are provided when you order
the storage enclosure. If you order the enclosure at the same time you order the
system, the required Fibre Channel HBAs are installed at the factory. See
for descriptions of the storage enclosures provided by Stratus and the
names of the PCI adapters required for supported storage enclosures.
