ATTO XstreamCORE Overview

The ATTO XstreamCORE 7500/7550/7600 is a storage controller that connects multiple shelves of SAS and SATA JBOD storage and virtualizes
it to a Fibre Channel SAN Connection.

The ATTO XstreamCORE FC 7500/7550/7600 allows IT
departments to architect storage systems with the flexibility
to use standard interface off-the-shelf storage hardware with
increased bandwidth and low latency levels which improve
performance and response. As a Data Center building block,
the7500/7550/7600 allows IT managers to architect their
storage solution on their terms, avoiding vendor lock-in with

ATTO XstreamCORE™ FC 7500

The ATTO XstreamCORE™ FC 7500 is a high-performance storage controller which adds 16-Gigabit Fibre Channel
connectivity to 12-Gigabit SAS or SATA storage devices.

The XstreamCORE™ FC 7500 is available in an industry­standard 1U form factor for easy integration into racks.

Dimensions

Width: 17.3 inches
Length: 9.9 inches
Height: 1.7 inches (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. Ambient air near the inlets should
not exceed 40°C. The unit automatically stops
operation if the temperature goes beyond this
threshold.

Do not block the enclosure’s vents. The

XstreamCORE™ does not allow data transfer if overheating

occurs.

Power

The 7500 features two hot swappable power
supplies and can be operated with only a single
power supply inserted. Each power supply has a
standard IEC320 power receptacle and cooling fan.
The power requirements of the ATTO

XstreamCORE™ FC 7500 plus the power draw of

other equipment in the rack must not overload the
supply circuit and or wiring of this rack.

Input voltage: 100-240; VAC 1A; 50/60Hz.

Fibre Channel ports

The dual independent 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports

connect the XstreamCORE™ FC 7500 to Fibre Channel

hosts using optical SFP+ connectors and multimode
fiber optic cable. Make sure all cables are anchored
securely at both ends with the proper connectors.

SAS/SATA ports

The four (x4) 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectors connect
storage devices into the Storage Area Network (SAN)
using mini-SAS HD cable plug connectors.

Management ports

Management is provided using the dual
100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports accessible from two
right angle RJ-45 connectors, or the RS-232 serial
header console port accessible from the serial RJ-45
connector.

LED indicators

LED indicators can be viewed from the connector
side and the front side of the XstreamCORE™ FC

7500.

LEDs on the connector side are:

Power Supplies: One LED for each supply. Blue
indicates on and ready, while blinking Red indicates
an unplugged or failed supply.

Ready/Alert: On one shared LED a lit green means
ready, yellow indicates an alert condition.

Ethernet port connectors: A green LED embedded in
each Ethernet port connector indicates Link/Activity,
where green solid indicates link, blinking indicates
activity and OFF means no link is present. A second
green LED embedded in each Ethernet port
connector indicates connection speed, where green
solid indicates either a 100MbE or 1000MbE
connection.

Fibre Channel port: A lit green LED indicates link,
and OFF means no link. FC Port LEDs are located next
to the SFP connectors.

SAS/SATA device: SAS LEDs are located below the
mini-SAS HD connector. A lit green LED indicates a
link has been established on at least one PHY, and
OFF means there are no links.

LEDs on the faceplate are:

Power Supplies: One LED for each supply. Green
indicates on and ready while amber indicates an
unplugged or failed supply.

If both power supplies are on and both LEDs
are yellow at the same time, this indicates a bad status
connection. Status harnesses may not be connected.

Power: A lit green LED indicates power has been
turned ON to the storage controller.

Ready: A lit green LED indicates ready and OFF to
show not ready.

Alert: A lit yellow LED indicates an alert condition.
Fibre Channel Port Activity: A lit green FC port

activity LED indicates FC traffic on the port, and OFF
indicates no port activity.

Fibre Channel Port Speed: A bi-color FC port speed
LED is lit as follows: Yellow = 16Gb/s, Green = 8Gb/s,
and OFF = 4Gb/s.

SAS/SATA Device Activity: A lit green LED for each
SAS connector indicates port activity on at least one
PHY in the connector, and OFF means no port
activity.
