serial stream. The parallel data is expected to be “8B/10B” encoded data or
equivalent.
The ports are compatible with optical SWL (short wave-length: 780-850
nm), and optical LWL (long wave-length: 1270-1350 nm), SFPs, and
SFP-compatible cables. The strength of the signal is determined by the type
of SFP in use.
The ports are universal and self-configuring, and are capable of becoming
F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports
(expansion ports).
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about
these standards, see “Product Regulatory Information” on page 81.
Control Processor Card Specifications
Memory Specifications
Each CP card has the following memory:
• Main memory: 128 MB SDRAM (32 bits wide)
• Flash memory:
– User flash: 16 MB of 16-bit wide memory, stored in two 8 MB banks
– Compact flash: 256 MB, partitioned in two 128 MB sections
• Boot flash: 512 KB of 8-bit for system boot
The centralized memory maximizes the overall switch throughput by
guaranteeing full transmit and receive bandwidth to all Fibre Channel ports
at all times.
Battery Specifications
The CP card has a lithium carbon-monoflouride coin cell battery.
