Four-port 16-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 16-Gb/s FC I/O module (labeled 16 Gb Fibre v1 on the latch handle) comes
with four optical (fibre) ports, one power/fault LED, and a link/activity LED for each optical
port (Figure 37). This I/O module can interface at speeds of 4, 8, and 16 Gb/s.
Figure 37 Four-port 16-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 16-Gb/s FC I/O module uses SFP+ transceiver modules to connect to LC-type
optical fibre cables (“Lucent Connector type interface” on page 46). These SFP+
transceiver modules are input/output (I/O) devices that plug into the FC port of the FC I/O
modules. For more information about these SFP+ transceiver modules, see the “I/O
modules” section on page 45.
Note: The 16-Gb/s I/O module uses a specific type of SFP module, ensure you are using
the correct one. Refer to the Parts Location guide for more information.
