FIGURE 1-1 Sun StorEdge T3 Array Controller Card and Ports
The Sun StorEdge T3+ array controller card contains:
■ One Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) port using an LC small-form factor
(SFF) connector. The fiber-optic cable that provides data channel connectivity to
the array has an LC-SFF connector that attaches directly to the port on the
controller card. The other end of the fiber-optic cable has a standard connector
(SC) that attaches a host bust adapter (HBA), hub, or switch.
■ One 10/100BASE-T Ethernet host interface port (RJ-45). This port provides the
interface between the controller card and the management host system. A
shielded Ethernet cable (category 5) connects the controller to the site’s network
hub. This interface enables the administration and management of the array via
the Sun StorEdge Component Manager software or the command-line interface
(CLI).
■ One RJ-45 serial port. This serial port is reserved for diagnostic procedures that
can only be performed by qualified service personnel.
