1.0 Installing the ATTO FibreBridge
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products provides Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges as standard PCI boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rack mount integration, or desktop units, depending on the model and your needs.
Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology designed to transfer large amounts of data between a variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is a key technology for applications that require shared, high bandwidth access to storage.
Fibre Channel provides a logical point-to point serial channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a source device and a buffer at a destination device. It moves buffer contents from one port to another, without regard to the format or meaning of the data, so different upper level protocols are able to run over Fibre Channel hardware.
The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within these layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial encoding and decoding, error control, frame format and communications protocols.
All ATTO FibreBridge
TM
models can be used in a SAN (Storage Area Network) to connect a variety of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to meet your needs.
A SAN is a shared storage architecture connecting computers and storage devices for online data access. Each connected system can directly access any attached storage device. Storage devices
could include RAID, tape backup, tape library, CD-ROM library or JBOD.
SANs maintain greater fault tolerance and load balancing by supporting server clustering and failover (the ability for one server to take over for another in the event of a failure).
The ATTO FibreBridge provides the interface between SCSI and Fibre Channel resources in SANs. Possible configurations depend upon your current hardware and what you need to do.
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products shares common configuration options and functions to provide the most versatile connectivity options available. Each product has been engineered to address specific customer needs. New capabilities are integrated into products throughout the FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them into your SAN (see Updating firmware on page
79). To make sure you have the most up-to-date
version of the firmware, visit the ATTO Technology website,
www.attotech.com
.
All ATTO FibreBridge models are operating system independent and include full duplex mode, Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect capabilities.

Installation
1.1 Cabling
ATTO FibreBridge SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Use an Ethernet connection to use the ATTO ExpressNAV interface (not available for the FibreBridge 1180).
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both ends with the proper connectors.
SCSI port connections
The FibreBridge supports a wide variety of SCSI storage devices including stand-alone drives, removable drives, JBODs, tape, CD and DVD drives, changers, libraries and magneto optical drives.
Each SCSI port is totally independent from the other SCSI port. Each bus may support up to 15 devices and each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the appropriate sync rates with the connected devices. If slower devices are mixed with faster devices, the bus will communicate at the rate of the slowest device.
Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and faster devices to the other port.
Connect a SCSI connector from the SCSI device to a SCSI port on the FibreBridge.

Serial port connections
The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote service operations over the RS-232 serial port using standard terminal emulation software available with most systems.
Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial port and one of the computer's serial COM ports.
A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter may be needed depending on the cables being used.
Ethernet connections
This section does not apply to the ATTO FibreBridge 1180.
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides remote monitoring and management using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.
When you connect an Ethernet cable between the FibreBridge and a 10/100Base-T connection, you may need a crossover cable connecting directly to a computer. The ATTO FibreBridge will auto detect the Ethernet speed by default.

The ATTO FibreBridge 2300R/D is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel to SCSI bridge for midrange high performance, cost effective solutions in enterprise environments.
The FibreBridge 2300 includes one Fibre Channel port and two SCSI ports. The desktop version comes with attached feet for desktop use and mounting brackets to convert to standard 19-inch enclosures.
Dimensions
Width: 16.91 inches wide (42.95 cm) Depth: 10 inches deep (25.4 cm) Height: 1.72 inches high (4.32 cm) (1U) Weight: approximately 10 pounds
Cooling and airflow
Operating Temperature: 5-40° C external Humidity: 10-90% non-condensing
Air enters from the front and is exhausted out the connector side by a blower inside the enclosure which provides 11 cubic feet per minute of airflow. Ambient air near the inlets should not exceed 40°C. The unit will automatically stop operation if the temperature goes beyond this threshold.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Do not block the enclosure’s vents. The FibreBridge will shut down if overheating occurs.
Power
The power supply circuit is permanently mounted within the enclosure and is not hot swappable. It has one standard IEC320 power receptacle and switch.
The universal power supply provides power for the bridge board and cooling fan.
The power requirements of the ATTO FibreBridge 2300R plus the power draw of the other equipment in the rack must not overload the supply circuit and/or wiring of the rack.
Input voltage: 110/230V AC, with operating input range of 90-132V AC or 175-264V AC, 47-63Hz, single phase. The AC input range selection is automatic with no manual or jumper switchover required.
