Chapter 4 Connecting Your Fibre Channel Array 4-11
See the chapter “Checking LEDs” on page 7-1 for more information about your
array’s LEDs.
4.6 Reviewing Channels, Ports, and SFPs
I/O controller modules have ports that accept SFP transceivers. These ports are
labeled FC0 through FC5, to indicate channels 0 through 5. Default configurations do
not include an SFP connector in every SFP port. To add or change SFP connectors,
refer to “Changing Your SFP Configuration” on page 4-18.
The channels and associated ports for the Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays are
summarized in
TABLE 4-3.
* Only one host port connection per channel is allowed when connecting to a fabric switch.
