Memory specifications

The switch has three types of memory devices, boot flash, compact flash, and main memory. The size of each is listed in Table 9.

Table 9. Memory specifications
Memory type Amount
Boot flash 4 MB
Compact flash 2 GB
Main memory (DDR2 SODIMM) 2 GB, 400 MHz, 72-bit bus

Fibre Channel port specifications

The Fibre Channel ports in the switch are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP+ (for 16 Gbps performance) transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.

The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see Electronic emission notices.

The ports are capable of operating at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps depending on SFP+ transceiver models and are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed.

The first eight ports on the switch can be configured to run at 10 Gbps with the appropriate license and transceivers.

Serial port specifications

The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The switch uses an RJ45 connector for the serial port. An RJ45 to RS-232 adapter is also provided with the switch.

Note: To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.

The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
