Introduction 1-11
Dual Channel FL_Port Interface Card
Each dual-channel FL_Port interface card supports two FL_Ports when two
interchangeable GBIC modules are installed for connecting to Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loops.
The FL_Port card has a green identifying LED visible from the front of the
interface card.
The FL_Port may be attached to either private NL_Ports or public NL_Ports.
The FL_Port manages loop communication and initialization. NL_Ports
realize the same benefits as N_Ports directly connected to the Fabric.
If your installation requires installing a single GBIC module on this card, a
metal, spring-loaded door protects the unused port position.
SWL Fiber-Optic GBIC Module
The SWL fiber-optic GBIC module is based on short wavelength CD lasers or
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) supporting 1.0625 Gbps link
speeds. This GBIC module supports 50-micron multimode fiber. Cable up to
500 meters in length.
NOTE: The SWL GBIC module uses a Class 1 laser, which complies with the 21 CFR,
subpart (J) as of the date of manufacture
