Compaq Servernet

Compaq Servernet ... supports both "X" and "Y" fabrics selectable at switch installation. It has LED indicators for X/Y fabric, error and power management support.

The SAN Switch can be mounted in a 19" Rack as well as tabletop. Mounting brackets are included for permanent fixture or optional sliding rail mounting. Transactions are passed from the SAN NIC through the SAN Switch on either a "X" or "Y" plane or fabric. If both fabrics are in use through redundant SAN Switches then transparent rerouting occurs in the event of a SAN NIC port or SAN Switch failure. The switch utilizes packet switching, Wormhole routing and push pull messaging to insure low latency data transfer. Supports Bi-directional point to point full duplex links and Layers 1- 4 of the OSI Reference Model implemented in hardware. The SAN Switch supports its own fault detection and performance management tools. SNMP alerts are posted for enterprise systems management access. Off-line DOS based diagnostic routines are available through the SAN to perform problem determination. These tools are independent of Compaq Insight Manager at this time. The kit contains one six port switch, static rack mounting kit, user guide, product quality statements, and warranty information.
