xviii Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual • September 1998

1-1
CHAPTER 1
Product Description
This chapter describes the Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub and Gigabit Interface
Converters (GBICs).
1.1 Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub
The hub is a seven-port connection point for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops
(FC-ALs). Ports are connected using GBICs. Each port receives serial data from a
remote node and retransmits that data out the next port to the next node in the loop.
Each reception includes data regeneration (both signal timing and amplitude)
supporting full distance optical links.
The GBIC is compliant with the Gigabit Interface Converter specification and can be
hot-plugged into the hub. Removal of a GBIC from the hub causes the automatic
bypass of that port. Active ports continue to operate normally with no degradation
of system performance. Conversely, a GBIC plugged in the hub connected with a
fiber optic cable to an active node automatically becomes a node on the loop.
Missing or inoperative nodes are detected and bypassed by the hub. Data is
automatically routed to the next operational port and node in the loop. LED
indicators provide status information to service personnel to indicate whether the
port is active or bypassed.
The following conditions will cause the bypass of a port:
■Converter transmitter fault
■Loss of received signal amplitude
■Absence of a GBIC
■Off-frequency data, excessive jitter, or inadequate edge transition density

1-2 Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual • September 1998
Data transfer within the hub is implemented in serial differential Positive Emitter
Coupled Logic (PECL) AC coupled logic. Each port monitors the serial data input
stream as well as the media converter connected to it.
Initiators or targets on the loop represent individual nodes that are linked by the
shared Fibre Channel loop. The positioning of the initiators or targets on the loop
depends upon the requirements of your application.
The front and rear of the hub are shown in FIGURE 1-1 and FIGURE 1-2.

1.2 GBIC
The GBIC is compliant with Fibre Channel FC-PH-2 physical layer option 100-M5-
SN-I and the ANSI FC-AL standard. The full speed of the module is 1062.5 Mbits/
second. The range of distances supported is 2 to 500 meters.
Sun currently ships two types of GBICs: one with a bailed locking mechanism and
one without.

2.3.5 Installing GBICs and Fiber Optic Cables
1. Choose the hub port into which you will install the GBIC.
Although the ports in a hub are electrically equivalent, follow any configuration
guidelines that may have accompanied the other hardware in your configuration.
If you are connecting the GBIC to a Sun StorEdge A5000 Disk Array , refer to the Sun
StorEdge A5000 Disk Array Hardware Configuration Guide, part number 805-0264-xx.
2. Insert the GBIC into the port.
Sun currently ships two types of GBICs: one with a bailed locking mechanism and
one without.
GBICs are keyed to prevent improper insertion; they can only be installed as shown
in FIGURE 2-3 and FIGURE 2-4.
