ATTO Technology, Inc. ATTO FibreBridge Installation & Operation Manual can support F_Ports or FL_Ports and automatically configure itself. ATTO Technology recommends that this mode of operation not be used. It is better to force the port to the desired mode. When connecting the bridge to a F_Port device, set the port connection mode to “Point-to-Point.” When connecting to a FL_Port device, set the port connection mode to “Loop”. The port connection mode of the bridge can be set using the RS-

ATTO Technology, Inc. ATTO FibreBridge Installation & Operation Manual Internal Power Distribution The ATTO FC Rack System provides a redundant power scheme with two "hot swappable" Power Supply Modules. Each Power Supply Module feeds 12V to the backplane. From there, the power is distributed to the bridge modules and the fans. A failure of one power supply will not affect the functionality of the bridge modules or the cooling system since the second supply is still supplying power to the backp

ATTO FibreBridge Installation & Operation Manual • Single Ended Ultra SCSI – 40 MB/sec max per bus • High Voltage Differential (HVD) Ultra SCSI – 40 MB/sec max per bus Each of the two ports is totally independent from the other. This means that each bus is capable of 15 devices and each bus is capable of 40/80 MB/sec (Ultra/Ultra2). There are a few advantages to this. First, you are able to use software striping to create a RAID 0 group that includes devices from both SCS
