SFPs
NOTE
You must install Dell-supported SFPs in the FC SAN Module.
The FC SAN Module was designed to work with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules.
The FC SAN Module ships with two 8 Gbps SFPs installed. If you purchase a license for additional
ports, you will receive additional SFPs.
NOTE
You can also install 4 Gbps SFPs in the FC SAN Module, All SFPs must be Dell-supported.
SFPs provide optical connections to external devices for both SWL and LWL connections. Replace
SFPs with a new pluggable unit rather than replacing the FC SAN Module. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions when installing SFPs.
“Removing and replacing the FC SAN Module” on page 24 provides details about removing SFPs
from the FC SAN Module.
