McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual

General Information

NOTE: All of the following transceiver types can be used in either the 1 Gbps

or 2 Gbps switches, however a 1 Gbps transceiver used in a 2 Gbps switch

will limit that port to a 1 Gbps data rate.

• Shortwave laser (1.0625 Gbps) - Shortwave laser transceivers

provide connections for transferring 1.0625 Gbps data over short

distances as follows:

— Up to 500 meters through 50-micron multimode fiber.

— Up to 300 meters through 62.5-micron multimode fiber.

• Shortwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Shortwave laser transceivers

provide connections for transferring 2.125 Gbps data over short

distances as follows:

— Up to 300 meters through 50-micron multimode fiber.

— Up to 150 meters through 62.5-micron multimode fiber.

• Longwave laser (1.0625 Gbps) - Longwave laser transceivers

provide connections for transferring 1.0625 Gbps data up to 10

kilometers through 9-micron singlemode fiber.

• Longwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Longwave laser transceivers

provide connections for transferring 2.125 Gbps data up to 10

kilometers through 9-micron singlemode fiber.

• Extended longwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Two types of extended

longwave laser transceivers provide connections for transferring

2.125 Gbps data up to 20 kilometers or 35 kilometers through

9-micron singlemode fiber.

Cooling Fans

Four fans (each a separate FRU) provide cooling for the switch power

supplies and the control processor (CTP) card, as well as redundancy

for continued operation if a single fan fails.

Anyfan FRU can be replaced while the switch is operating.

Power Supplies

Redundant, load-sharing power supplies step down and rectify

facility input power to provide 3.3 volt direct current (VDC), 5 VDC,

and 12 VDC to the CTP card. The power supplies also provide input

filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection. Either

power supply can be replaced while the switch is operational.
