Dell 8/4 Gbps FC SAN Module
The Dell 8/4 Gbps FC SAN module includes 24 total autosensing fibre channel ports (12 ports are enabled in the standard
configuration and 12 additional ports may be enabled as an optional upgrade) and one serial port with an RJ-45
connector. The internal fibre channel ports operate at 8 Gb/s or 4 Gb/s. The external fibre channel ports operate at 8
Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, or 2 Gb/s.
NOTE: CMC firmware version 1.3 is required to support FC8 mezzanine cards and I/O modules.
NOTE: This fibre channel switch module includes Short Wave SFP optical transceivers. To ensure proper
functionality, use only SFPs provided with this module.
NOTE: This module requires a Fibre Channel fabric for support, as it functions in the Access Gateway (NPIV) mode
and cannot be directly connected to a storage array.
