Introduction
17Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide
Fibre Channel I/O Module
The Fibre Channel I/O Module is a single-port, 1-Gb/2-Gb Fibre Channel device
that includes a 2 Gb/s Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver (SFP) port.
Figure 7 is an illustration of the Fibre Channel I/O Module.
This module can be removed and replaced with other interconnect options, such
as the MSA SAN Switch 2/8 or the MSA Hub 2/3. In redundant configurations,
the interconnect devices must be a matching pair.
If a second controller is added for additional functionality but not for system
redundancy, an MSA SAN Switch 2/8 or an MSA Hub 2/3 may be installed.
If you are using the Fibre Channel I/O Module and an additional controller is
installed for redundancy, a second I/O Module must be ordered and installed.
