Memory specifications The Brocade 6505 has three primary types of memory devices: boot flash, compact flash, and main memory. The size of each is listed in Table 11. TABLE 11 Brocade 6505 memory specifications Memory type Amount Boot flash Compact flash Main memory (SODIMM DDR2) 4 MB (expandable to 8 MB) 1 GB 1 GB, 64-bit bus operating at 166 MHz with 8-bit ECC Fibre Channel port specifications The Fibre Channel ports in the Brocade 6505 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP+ transceivers (for 16 Gbps performance). The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use. The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see "Regulatory compliance" on page 37. The ports are capable of operating at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps depending on SFP+ transceiver models and are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed. Serial port specifications The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The Brocade 6505 uses an RJ45 connector for the serial port. An RJ45-to-DB9 adapter is also provided with the switch. NOTE To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use. 36 Brocade 6505 Hardware Reference Manual 53-1002449-01
