Figure 2: Director 2/64 (rear view)
The director provides a modular design that enables quick removal and
replacement of FRUs. The power module assembly at the rear of the director also
provides a 9-pin, D-type subminiature (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.
Director 2/140
The Director 2/140 is a third-generation, enterprise-class switch that provides
switched fabric connectivity for to up to 140 Fibre Channel devices. Figure 3
illustrates the front of the director.
Each UPM card provides four 2.125 Gbps Fibre Channel port connections
through duplex small form factor pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic transceivers.
Shortwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data over multimode
fiber-optic cable. Longwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data
over single-mode fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cables attach to director port
transceivers with duplex LC connectors.
