Configuring the Director
122 Director Element Manager User Guide
■ Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/s data rate. If you set the speed to
2 Gig and the firmware only supports 1 Gb/s, an error message displays
stating that the feature is not supported and providing the firmware level that
will support the higher speed.
At the Director Speed field, click 1 Gig or 2 Gig to select the speed of Fibre
Channel operation.
Note: Changing the director speed to 2 Gb/s with any 1 Gb/s FPM card installed will
cause the following warning/confirmation message to display:
All FPM ports
will be held inactive while the director is configured to 2
Gb/sec speed. Do you want to continue?

operation through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating

Online State” bullet on page 74.
Caution: Setting the director offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.
