FORTRA15-bay I4 Infortrend 5251F44 Installation Guide Rev A
FORTRAproducts use advanced mid-plane technology developed by JMR,
which allows power supplies, drives, and all other enclosure components to
interface into a single board. This provides superior performance and easy
connectivity.
The host interface supports SFP Fibre Channel connections at 2Gb/s.
All 15-bay FORTRA
2Gb/s Fibre enclosures have built-in SES on the
personality card that allows control and monitoring of some enclosure
components.

Fibre Channel Features
Loop Expansion
FORTRA15-bay 2Gb/s Fibre Channel JBOD enclosures include a loop
expansion I/O connector on each fibre channel drive port. This allows the
connection to other Fibre Channel JBOD enclosures.
Loop Bypass and Clock Timing Circuit
Each port includes a loop bypass circuit that monitors each slot for a loop
connection. It has two modes of operation: NORMAL and BYPASS. In
NORMAL mode, the device is connected to the loop. In BYPASS mode, the
device is either absent or non-functional and data bypasses to the next available
device until the correct device is located.
The unit also has a built-in clock recovery circuit that adjusts the timing for any
input or output that is going through the enclosure.
SFP Connector
The 15-bay 2Gb/s Fibre Channel enclosures use Small Formfactor Plug (SFP) as
the Fibre I/O ports.
Dual Loops
A single loop is required for unit operation, however both loops can be used to
connect to different hosts, dual host adapters, and other devices, for flexible and
even redundant configurations. For specific connection and installation
information, refer to Chapter 4
.
ID Selection
0-124 device ID addresses are addressable and can be easily set-up via ID rotary
switches located on the personality modules. For specific connection and
installation information, refer to Chapter 4
.
SES
The 15-bay Fibre Channel enclosures have a built-in SES processor on the
personality card. See Chapter 8
for SES information.

Agency Compliance
FORTRAenclosures have been designed and built to comply with the FCC,
UL, CSA/TUV, CE, and C-Tick standards. For more information on FCC Class
A compliance, see page 2.
Packaging Specifications
FORTRApackaging has been designed to be reusable and recyclable. Drives
may be installed and shipped in the canisters as long as the canisters are not
installed in the enclosure. Shipping the unit with canisters and/or power supplies
installed in the enclosure may cause damage to the enclosure or to the drives and
will void the warranty.
Packaging complies with ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standards
and has been ISTA certified.
Each canister is pre-packaged in an anti-static bag. Do not throw the packaging
away if the product is intended for re-shipping. When transporting or shipping a
JMR approved shipping container must be used.
Disclaimer
The original product packaging has been tested and is safe under normal shipping
circumstances. Reshipping the product without using the original product
packaging will void the warranty. Do not ship the unit with canisters and/or
power supplies installed in the enclosure as this will void the warranty and could
cause damage to the unit and drives. The canisters should be packaged separately
within the product packaging, as provided.
SAFETY TIP: Reshipping the enclosure with canisters, drives, or power
supplies installed in the enclosure may cause damage to these
components and will void the warranty
SICHERHEITSHINWEIS: Der Versand des Gehäuses mit eingebauten
Einschüben, Platten und Netzteilen kann zur Beschädigung dieser
Komponenten führen und somit den Garantieanspruch gefährden.
