Fibre-channel host attachment ports

Use these feature codes when you order fibre-channel host ports for your DS6800.

The DS6800 host interface requires a minimum of two host attachment ports to be enabled, one for each processor card. For the DS6800, a minimum of two SFP connectivity ports (one per processor card) and a maximum of eight SFPs are available for direct connection to host servers or switched SAN fabrics.

The SFPs are available for host connections in shortwave SFP pairs (feature number 1310 for model 1750-511 or feature number 1320 for model 1750-522) and longwave SFP pairs (feature number 1315 for model 1750-511 or feature number 1325 for model 1750-522). Shortwave SFPs are for use with fiber cable lengths of 300 meters or fewer. Longwave SFPs are used for cable distances up to 10 km (6.2 miles). If the DS6800 (1750-511 or 1750-522) is to be attached to the DS6000™ expansion enclosure (1750-EX1 or 1750-EX2), eight shortwave SFPs will be included in the order of the DS6000 expansion enclosure.
