The server is rack mounted in the McDATA-supplied FC-512
Fabricenter equipment cabinet. A SANpilot interface or management
server is required to install, configure, and manage the switch.
The server provides two auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
connectors (RJ-45 adapters). The first adapter (LAN 1) attaches
(optionally) to a public customer intranet to allow access from remote
user workstations. The second adapter (LAN 2) attaches to a private
LAN segment containing switches or managed products.
