Product Summary

The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 is an active 12-port

hub for Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) storage clusters, server

clusters, and networks, providing gigabit speed storage connectivity, modular

network scalability, and option network management.

Figure 1-1. Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12

Features

■Expandability and Performance - supports 12 GigaBit Interface

Converter, GBIC ports with parallel and serial identification protocols

■Flexibility - adheres to the ANSI FC-AL standard

■Intelligent Port Control - provides multiple data checks without

affecting performance

■Spatial Economy - takes up only 1U of rack space

■Ease of Use - provides port-bypass circuitry flexibility and simplifies

central wiring management

Functions

The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 continuously

monitors the serial data and automatically configures an FC-AL network.

Adding valid FC-AL nodes with ANSI-compliant cables is truly a plug-and-

play task. Loop nodes that are missing or inoperative are detected, and the data

is automatically routed to the next operational port and node in the loop.

The hub is transparent to the protocol. It does not consume any FC-AL

addresses and so is not addressable by an FC-AL port. Because of the

intelligent signal detection tests, only valid Fibre Channel devices will be

connected to a loop when using the hub. If an FC-AL node were to transmit

invalid Fibre Channel data, the node would be taken off the loop

automatically. Examples of node behavior that will result in a bypass state are

transmission of invalid characters, absence of frames, and invalid signal

amplitude.
