Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module comes with four optical (fibre) ports, one
power/fault LED, and a link/activity LED for each optical port, as shown in
Figure 48. This I/O module can interface at speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s.
Figure 48 Four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module
The four-port 8-Gb/s FC I/O module uses SFP+ transceiver modules to connect to
LC-type optical fibre cables. These SFP+ transceiver modules are input/output (I/O)
devices that plug into the FC port of the FC I/O modules. These SFP+ modules are
hot swappable
