Figure 1-3 Intrepid 6140 Director
• A minimum of 16 to a maximum of 35 Fibre Channel port cards as
follows:
— UPM cards. Each UPM card provides four 2.1250 Gbps Fibre
Channel port connections through duplex SFP fiber-optic
transceivers.
— XPM cards. Each XPM card provides one 10.2000 Gbps Fibre
Channel port connection through a duplex XFP fiber-optic
transceiver.
For UPM and XPM cards, shortwave laser transceivers are
available for transferring data over multimode fiber-optic cable.
Longwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data
over singlemode fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cables attach to
director port transceivers with duplex LC connectors.
The rear of the director provides a 9-pin, DSUB maintenance port for
connection to a local terminal or remote terminal. Although the port
is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations
personnel can use the port to configure director network addresses.
