iSR6200 Intelligent Storage Router Installation Guide - QLogic

1–IntroductioniSR6200 Router BladesThe iSR6200 router supports SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports.A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals totransmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers,which then connect to the devices. For example, a 2Gbps or 4Gbps Fibre Channelport can transmit at 2Gbps or 4Gbps; however, the transceiver must also becapable of delivering these rates.The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable. You can remove or install a transceiverwhile the router is operating without harming the router or the transceiver.However, this interrupts communication with the connected device. For detailsabout installing and removing SFP optical transceivers, see “Installing theTransceivers” on page 3-6.Gigabit Ethernet Port LEDsThe gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports shown in Figure 1-11 are RJ45 connectors thatprovide connection to an Ethernet SAN through a 100 or 1000 Base-T Ethernetcable. The ports are labeled GE1 and GE2. Each of these ports supportsconnections that run the iSCSI high-level TCP protocol.iSR6200 SystemGE4 GE3 iSR624010GbE210GbE1 iSR6250Intelligent Storage RouterIntelligent Storage RouterMGMT IOIOI FC1 FC2 GE1 GE1Figure 1-11.
