McDATA 4416 Manual De Usuario

The switch module has 6 external Fibre Channel ports through which to 
connect to devices or other switches and 10 internal ports connecting to the 
server midplane. Each of the external Fibre Channel ports is served by a Small 
Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver and is capable of 1-Gbps,  
2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps transmission. SFPs are hot-pluggable. External ports can 
self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to 
public devices or other switches. The internal ports operate at 1-Gbps or 
2-Gbps.

The external ports are named Ext10, Ext11, Ext12, Ext13, Ext14, and Ext15 and 
are numbered 10–15 as shown in 

. The external port LEDs are 

located to the left their respective ports and provide port login and activity 
status information.

Internal ports are named Int0–Int9 and numbered 0–9. The port numbers 0–9 
correspond to server blades 1–10 as shown in 

The switch module comes from the factory as a 12-port switch, enabling 

external ports 10–13 and internal ports 0–7 . You can upgrade the switch module to 
enable the remaining external ports (14, 15) and internal ports (8, 9) through the 
purchase of the Port Activation PFE key. Refer to the McDATA Switch Module 
Management Guide for information about installing a PFE key. For additional McDATA 
PFE keys, please contact your McDATA representative or visit the web site at
