System Storage SAN384B-2 (2499-416) |
| Base machine |
- Single chassis: up to 384 (SAN768B-2) or 192 (SAN384B-2) 16 Gbps universal (E, F, D, M and EX) Fibre Channel ports using 48-port Fibre Channel blades. Up to 512 (SAN768B-2) or 256 (SAN384B-2) 8 Gbps universal (E, F, M and EX) Fibre Channel ports using 64-port 8 Gbps Fibre Channel blades.
- Multi-chassis with ICL ports: Up to 3840 16 Gbps universal Fibre Channel ports (using 16 Gbps 48-port blades); up to 5120 8 Gbps universal Fibre Channel ports (using 8 Gbps 64-port blades); ICL ports (32 or 16 per chassis, optical QSFP) connect up to nine b-type SAN768B-2/SAN384B-2 chassis in a full mesh topology or up to 10 chassis in a core-edge topology. Deploying 5 or more chassis with ICL connections within a fabric requires an Enterprise ICL license.
The base chassis includes the following components:
- One Director Chassis with door, two vertical cable management combs, redundant (active/standby) control processor blades, redundant active/active core switching blades, redundant power supplies, fans, Zero Fibre Channel Port Blades, Zero small form-factor pluggables (SFPs) and Ship Group that includes an installation guide hardcopy, CD-ROM (with manuals), two rack power distribution unit (PDU) power cords, service tools and wrap tools, serial cable, RJ-45, wrist strap, cable retainer kit and SFP extraction tool.
- In addition to the above stated components, the base chassis of the SAN768B-2 includes three blower fans and option for two additional power supplies. The Ship Group also includes the 14U rack mounting kit (BR120). As for the SAN384B-2, the base chassis includes 2 blower fans and 1U exhaust duct kit.
Base Functionality:
- Web Tools, Advanced Zoning, Full Fabric, Virtual Fabrics, EGM, Fabric Watch, Extended fabrics, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, Server Application Optimization and Adaptive Networking. Fabric Operating System (v7.0 or later).
Note: No port or advanced functionality blades are included in the base. Customers will need to order the 48- or 32-port 16 Gbps or 8 Gbps Fibre Channel port blades, the 64-port 8 Gbps Fibre Channel port blade and/or the supported specialty blades and populate them with transceivers. |
