Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 • Backplane. • A minimum of 16 to a maximum of 35 Fibre Channel port cards as follows: - UPM cards. Each UPM card provides four 2.1250 Gbps Fibre Channel port connections through duplex SFP fiber-optic transceivers. - XPM cards. Each XPM card provides one 10.2000 Gbps Fibre Channel port connection through a duplex XFP fiber-optic transceiver. For UPM and XPM cards, shortwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data over multimode fiber-optic cable. Longwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data over singlemode fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cables attach to director port transceivers with duplex LC connectors. The rear of the director provides a 9-pin, 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. Intrepid 10000 Director The Intrepid 10000 Director is a fourth-generation, enterprise-class product that provides switched fabric connectivity for up to 256 Fibre Channel devices operating at 1.0625 or 2.1250 Gbps, or up to 64 devices operating at 10.2000 Gbps. The product provides highperformance scalable bandwidth, highly-available operation, redundant switched data paths, long transmission distances (up to 2,200 km using a pool of programmable buffer-to-buffer credits), and high device population. Figure 1-4 illustrates the director. 1-12 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
