About Your System

4 Gbps Fibre Channel Pass-Through Module

The 4 Gbps Fibre Channel pass-through module provides a bypass

connection between a Fibre Channel mezzanine card in the blade and optical

transceivers for direct connection into a Fibre Channel switch or a storage

array (see Figure 1-40). The 16 pass-through ports on this module can

negotiate speeds of 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps. The 4 Gbps Fibre Channel pass-through

modules are hot-swappable, and may be installed in Fabric B or Fabric C.

Table 1-22 lists the functionality of the indicators on each individual Fibre

Channel connector. For general information on installing this module, see

"I/O Modules" on page 296.

NOTE:

To ensure proper functionality, use only the Short Wave Small Form Factor

Pluggable (SFP) transceivers provided with this module.
