MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide
MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Hardware Features
MSA SAN Switch hardware support includes:
Embedded design specifically for the MSA1000
Hot-pluggability
The switch can be installed or replaced without power cycling the MSA1000.
When adding or replacing a switch, allow sufficient time to complete the
POST tests and the configuration tasks before using.
Redundancy
In redundant fabric configurations, you can install two MSA SAN Switches to
support the redundant MSA1000 controllers.
Single chip ASIC switch design
Eight ports
Seven available 2-Gb/s Fibre Channel ports are compatible with Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFPs) transceiver interconnects (Port 1 through
Port 7)
One internal port (Port 0) for interfacing with the MSA1000 Array
Controller, using F_Port protocol
Per port automatic negotiation to the highest possible speed
One IEEE compliant 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet management port; able to
auto-sense a straight-through cable or crossover cable configuration
One DB-9 serial port
A total of 15 LEDs:
One Switch Readiness LED
One port status LED for each of the seven available ports
One port speed LED for each of the seven available ports
