Physical Planning Considerations 5 Port Requirements Plan for sufficient shortwave laser, longwave laser, 1.0625 gigabit per second (Gbps), 2.1250 Gbps, and 10.2000 Gbps Fibre Channel ports to meet the needs of the SAN configuration. The number of ports required is equal to the number of device connections (including redundant connections), plus the number of interswitch links (ISLs) between fabric elements, plus the total number of spare port connections. The number of Fibre Channel ports and port operation for McDATA directors and switches are described as follows: • Intrepid 6064 Director - The director is configured from a minimum of eight fiber port module (FPM), universal port module (UPM), or ten-gigabit port module (XPM) cards (32 ports total) to a maximum of 16 cards (64 ports total). - FPM cards provide four 1.0625 Gbps port connections and can be configured with shortwave or longwave transceivers or a combination of both. - UPM cards provide four 2.1250 Gbps port connections and can be configured with shortwave or longwave transceivers or a combination of both. - XPM cards provide one 10.2000 Gbps port connection and can be configured with shortwave or longwave transceivers. • Intrepid 6140 Director - The director is configured from a minimum of 16 UPM or XPM cards (64 ports total) to a maximum of 35 cards (140 ports total). - UPM cards provide four 2.1250 Gbps port connections and can be configured with shortwave or longwave transceivers or a combination of both. - XPM cards provide one 10.2000 Gbps port connection and can be configured with shortwave or longwave transceivers. • Intrepid 10000 Director - The director is configured from a minimum of one to a maximum of eight line modules (LIMs). Each LIM provides the interface to attach up to four optical paddles as follows: 5-2 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
