• Redundant and hot-swappable CP8 and CR8 blades, power supplies, blower assemblies, and WWN cards enable a high availability platform for mission critical SAN applications. • Inter-chassis linking (ICL) through CR8 blades. • Universal ports self-configure as E_ports, F_ports, FL_ports, Ex_ports, and M_ports (mirror ports). NOTE: 10-Gb/s (FC10-6) are E-Ports only. Hardware components The DC04 SAN Director features a modular and scalable mechanical construction that allows a wide range of flexibility in installation, fabric design, and maintenance. The chassis may be mounted with the cables facing the front of the equipment rack or to the rear. NOTE: The chassis should be mounted with the air intake (non-port side) mounted towards the cool air aisle, not towards the aisle where heated exhaust air is coming from other components. The DC04 SAN Director chassis consists of the following: • Up to four hot-swappable port blade assemblies that can be configured in a single chassis, deliv- ering up to 192 Fibre Channel ports. • Two slots for CP blades (CP8): • A single active CP8 blade can control all 192 ports in the chassis. • The standby CP8 blade assumes control of the DC04 SAN Director if the active CP fails. • Two slots for core switch blades (CR4S-8): • The CR4S-8 blade interconnects all Director blades. • Two ICL connectors per blade to connect to another DC04 SAN Director chassis or to a DC SAN Director. • Both CR4S-8 blades are active. • Modular hot-swappable Director blades: • 16-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-16) • 32-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-32) • 48-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-48) • 6-port, 10-Gb/s blades (FC10-6) • Modular hot-swappable application blades: • FR4-18i, 18-port (16 FC + 2 GbE), up to four blades per chassis, supporting FCR Services and FCIP • Modular hot-swappable field replaceable units (FRUs): • Two blower assemblies • Two 100 to 240 VAC power supplies • At 240 VAC, two power supplies are required to provide redundancy, although the DC04 SAN Director can be fully powered with a single power supply at 240 VAC. 114 HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Backbone Director Switch Overview
