SilkWorm 2400 is an 8-port Fibre Channel Gig abit Switch that consist s of a motherboard
with connectors for s upporting up to 8 ports, a nd fabric operating sys tem for building and
managing a Fabric. A Fabric is an active, intelligent, interconnect scheme for Fibre
Channel server and storag e nodes. Figure 1-1 shows the front vie w of the SilkWorm 2400
switch. Ports are numbered sequentially starting with zero for the left most port. The
switch face plate includes a silk screen imprint of the port number. Up to two power
supplies are suppor ted, t hese are s hown to the left a nd ri ght of the s witch por ts i n Figure

Chapter 1 Introduction
Switch Features
The switch is a high-perfo rmance Fibre Channel Gigabit Switch with the follow ing
features:
■ Simple – Easy setup and con figurat ion. After Po wer-On Se lf-Test (POST), you
need only add th e switc h’s Internet Prot ocol (IP) ad dres s. Th e rema inde r of the
switch’s setup is autom ated .
■ Intelligent – The fabric operating system allows discovery of all connected
devices and determines optimum data paths without intervention, supporting up
to 239 interco nne ct ed sw itc he s.
■ Flexible – GBIC modules support fiber and copper transmission media. The
switch’s modular constructio n g ives the swit ch a r ange of fle xi bility in creat in g,
upgrading, maintaining, and configuring a Fabric.
■ Reliable – Hig hly in tegrat ed, re liab le, multif unct ion (AS IC) dev ices a re used
throughout the sw itch.
■ High performance – Low-latency, high-performance design requires no CPU data
path interactio n resulti ng in a worst ca se dat a transfe r late ncy o f less than two
microseconds from any port to any port at peak Fibre Channel bandwidth of 100
MB/sec. The latency may differ when the destination or device is a loop.
■ Automated congestion management – Virtual channels lets the swit ch use
sophisticated co nges tion ma nage ment te chniqu es th at are per form ed
automatically by the swit ch.
■ Cascading – You can casc ade swi tches for large Fab ric sup port. Up to 239
switches can be in terco nnecte d for a la rge Fabric w ith h undred s of Fabr ic
connections.
■ Compatibility – SilkWorm
2400 has been designed to inter-operate with the
SilkWorm 1000 series switches using a compatibility mode.
■ Universal – Switch po rts are d esigned t o support F, FL and E-p ort modes of ope ration
with the software selecting the optimum mode of operation.
Performance
A minimum aggregate r outin g cap acity o f 4,00 0,000 f rames/ sec is s pecif ied for Clas s 2,
Class 3, and Class F frames. Non-bl ocki ng t hroughput of up to 8 x 100MBytes/s ec (0.8
GBytes/sec) is provided.
A maximum switch late ncy of l ess than t wo micro seconds is specifi ed for Cl ass 2, Cl ass
3, and Class F frames when the output port is free.
Manageability
The unit may be managed in-band (using Fibre Channel protocol) or out-of-band via
connecting to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port. Management interfaces include Telnet,
SNMP, SCSI Enclosure Services (SES), or a Web Tool.

System Components
The motherboard is enclosed in an air-cool ed chassi s which ma y be eithe r mounted in a
standard rack or used as a standalone unit. The chassis includes one or two power
supplies, a fan tray , an RJ-45 Ethernet co nnection for switch se t up and management, and
a serial port. The serial port is used for recovering factory settings only and initial
configuration of the IP address for the switch if default address is not known.
Fabric Operating System
The fabric operating system is tuned for each installation. The system provides a large
number of commands and libraries to manage real time tasks.
GBICs
The switch accommodates up to eight GBIC modules. All interfaces have status lights
visible from the front panel giving a quick, visual check of the GBIC’s status and
activity.
System Components
GBIC modules supported are the ShortWave Length (SWL) and LongWave Length
(LWL) fiber-optics, and Copper (Cu) versions.
If your installation requires installing less than eight GBIC modules, the unused port
positions are protected by a metal, spring-loaded door.
SWL Fiber-Optic GBIC Module
The SWL fiber-optic GBIC module, with SC connector color-coded black, is based on
short wavelength lasers supporting 1.0625 Gbps link speeds. This GBIC module
supports 50-micron multi-mode fiber optic cables, with cables up to 500 meters in
length.The GBIC module is shipped with a protective plug in place and should remain in
place if no fiber optic cable is connected to the port. Figure 1-2 shows a GBIC module.
Figure 1-2 Short wavelength Laser (SWL) fiber optic GBIC module
The SWL GBIC module uses a Class 1 laser, which complies with the 21 CFR, subpart
(J) as of the date of manufacture.
