FibreBridge 4500
Serial port
The 10-pin serial port connector provides support for
remote monitoring and management through a
command line interface, menu system or graphical
interface (ATTO BridgeTools).
In order to use the RS-232 port, you must ensure there
is enough clearance above the face plate for the ribbon
cable: do not place another card in the adjacent slot of
the CPCI rack. Connect the 10 pin to DB9 converter
cable to header P3 (in the same corner of the board as
the RJ45 connector)
LED indicators
Fault
FC 0 Activity, FC 1 Activity, FC 2 Activity:
each
LED blinks to show activity on the Fibre Channel port
(numbered 0, 1 and 2). During very high activity, the
LEDs appear to be steadily lit.
SCSI 0 Activity, SCSI 1 Activity, SCSI 2 Activity,
SCSI 3 Activity:
each SCSI bus has its own LED to
show activity on that bus (numbered 0, 1, 2, 3).
Ready: should light after the FibreBridge has passed
its internal self diagnostic test, indicating the
FibreBridge is ready to operate. Fault: indicates if
there is a problem with the FibreBridge. If the fault
LED blinks in a consistent pattern, contact ATTO
Technology Technical Support.
Installing the FibreBridge 4500C
The ATTO FibreBridge 4500C offers a variety
of ways to connect into a SAN.
1 Mount the FibreBridge 4500C into a
standard CPCI rack mount system or, for
custom placement, use the mounting holes.
2 Connect the SCSI devices to the
FibreBridge. (See Chapter 2.3)
3 Connect the FibreBridge to your SAN:
attach short wave optical cables into the
Fibre Channel ports on the FibreBridge.
(See Chapter 2.4)
4 Connect to the management (services) port
via the RS-232 serial port, Ethernet, or in-
band SCSI over Fibre Channel. (See
Chapter 4)
5 Use ATTO BridgeTools™, a graphical
interface utility enclosed with your
FibreBridge, or Command Line Interface to
map your devices to the appropriate
FibreBridge Fibre Channel ports (See
Chapter 3.1 and Chapter 4.1.8)
6 Boot the computers on the SAN and set up
the configuration for the devices connected
to the FibreBridge.
