Fibre Channel Ports
System Component Description
Fibre Channel ports 48 SFP+ ports that support any combination of short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL)
or extended long wavelength (ELWL) optical media.
4 QSFP ports that support 16G and 32G QSFP transceivers.
The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 4, 8, 16, or 32G speeds depending on the SFP+
model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
•
4G, 8G, and 16G performance is enabled by 16G SFP+ transceivers if the other end of the
connection has a minimum speed of 4G.
•
8G, 16G, and 32G performance is enabled by 32G SFP+ transceivers if the other end of the
connection has a minimum speed of 8G.
2G, 4G, and 8G transceivers are not supported.
ANSI Fibre Channel protocol FC-PH (Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface standard).
Modes of operation Fibre Channel Class 2 and Class 3.
Fabric initialization Complies with FC-SW-3 Rev. 6.6.
Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) Complies with FC-IP 2.3 of the FCA profile.
Port status Bicolor LED (amber/green).
