4G Fibre Channel Pass-Through I/O Module

The 4G Fibre Channel pass-through module provides a bypass connection

between a Fibre Channel mezzanine card in the blade and optical transceivers.

The bypass connection enables a direct connection to a Fibre Channel switch

or a storage array. The 16 pass-through ports on this module can negotiate

speeds of 1, 2, or 4 Gbps. The 4G Fibre Channel pass-through module is

hot-swappable, and may be installed in Fabric B or Fabric C.

NOTE:

To ensure proper functionality, use only the Short Wave Small Form Factor

Pluggable (SFP) transceivers provided with this module.
