What management options does this switch provide?

Management includes 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 and RS-232 serial ports, Telnet, RADIUS, SNMP with FE/FC MIBs, and optional Advanced Web Tools or Fabric Manager. In-band access via management server ensures secure, centralized control for enterprise environments.

What is the physical form factor and environmental tolerance?

1U rack-mountable chassis measures 40.16 x 54.46 x 18.1 cm (W x D x H) and weighs 6.8 kg. Operates at 0° to 40°C with non-operating altitude up to 12,000m, suitable for standard data center conditions with high-speed airflow.

Does it support backward compatibility with older devices?

Yes, auto-sensing 1/2/4Gbps ports ensure compatibility with existing B-series switches and 1Gbps/2Gbps devices. Utilizes standard B-series management tools, protecting investments while enabling 4Gbps performance upgrades.

What Fibre Channel protocols and classes are supported?

Supports FC-AL-2, FC-GS-5, FC-GS-4, FC-SW-4, FC-VI, FC-LS, FC-BB-3, FC-SB-3 protocols. Classes of service include Class 2, Class 3, and Class F for inter-switch frames, with full duplex operation for reliable data transfer.

What power efficiency features does it offer?

20% less power consumption than predecessors with integrated redundant power/fan units. Universal 90-264 VAC input at 47/63 Hz, high-speed airflow 20.8 CFM, supports hot-pluggable components for high availability without single points of failure.
