The HPE 4GB Fibre Channel Pass-Thru Module is an expansion module designed to provide connectivity between a server and a Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Network). The module is designed to fit into the expansion slots of compatible HPE systems, and it has a form factor that allows it to fit into a standard rack-mountable chassis.
The module has 16 ports that support 1000base-SX connectivity, which is a type of optical fiber technology that allows for high-speed data transmission over long distances. Each port has a standard LC duplex connector that can be used to connect the module to other fiber optic cables.
In terms of physical characteristics, the module is a rectangular box-shaped device that measures approximately 10.6 x 7.5 x 1.1 inches (27 x 19 x 2.8 cm). It has a weight of approximately 2.2 pounds (1 kg), which makes it a lightweight and portable device.
The module is designed with a passive, non-blocking architecture, which means that it does not require any power or software to operate. This design allows for simplified deployment and reduces the complexity of the Fibre Channel fabric.
Deploying Data CenterDeploying a data center involves the process of setting up a physical location that houses computing infrastructure, such as servers, storage, networking equipment, and other necessary components to support the organization's IT needs. Here are some key factors to consider when deploying a data center:
- Location: The location of the data center is important, as it affects factors such as access to power, internet connectivity, and climate control. The location should be easily accessible for maintenance and upgrades, but also secure from potential security breaches.
- Power and Cooling: Data centers require a significant amount of power to operate, and the equipment generates a lot of heat. Adequate power and cooling infrastructure must be in place to ensure optimal performance and prevent equipment damage.
- Network Connectivity: The data center must have reliable network connectivity to ensure that data can be transmitted quickly and efficiently. Redundant internet connections and network equipment can help prevent downtime.
- Physical Security: Data centers house valuable equipment and data, and physical security measures must be in place to prevent unauthorized access. This can include access controls, security cameras, and alarms.
- Equipment Selection and Configuration: The equipment used in the data center must be selected and configured to meet the organization's specific needs. This can involve factors such as processing power, storage capacity, and network throughput.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery: Data centers are critical components of an organization's IT infrastructure, and backup and disaster recovery plans must be in place to ensure that data can be restored in the event of a failure or disaster.
The HPE 4GB Fibre Channel Pass-Thru Module requires specific cabling requirements and considerations to ensure proper connectivity and optimal performance. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:
- Fiber Optic Cables: The module uses fiber optic cables to transmit data between the server and the Fibre Channel SAN. The cables must be compatible with the module's 1000base-SX ports and should meet the necessary standards for data transmission.
- Connector Type: The module uses LC duplex connectors for the fiber optic cables. These connectors are small and easy to connect, making them a popular choice for fiber optic cables.
- Cable Length: The length of the fiber optic cables used with the module should not exceed the maximum supported length for the 1000base-SX standard. The maximum supported length is typically 550 meters, but this can vary depending on the quality of the cable and other factors.
- Fiber Type: The module is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables. Multi-mode fiber is designed to transmit data over short to medium distances and is commonly used in data centers.
- Cable Routing: It's important to consider the routing of the fiber optic cables to avoid sharp bends, kinks, or twists that could damage the cables or affect data transmission.
- Cable Management: Proper cable management is essential for maintaining a clean and organized data center. Using cable ties, racks, and other cable management tools can help ensure that the fiber optic cables are properly organized and labeled for easy identification.
