CHAPTER  
1
Product Description  
This chapter describes the Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub and Gigabit Interface  
Converters (GBICs).  
1.1  
Sun StorEdge FC-100 Hub  
The hub is a seven-port connection point for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops  
(FC-ALs). Ports are connected using GBICs. Each port receives serial data from a  
remote node and retransmits that data out the next port to the next node in the loop.  
Each reception includes data regeneration (both signal timing and amplitude)  
supporting full distance optical links.  
The GBIC is compliant with the Gigabit Interface Converter specification and can be  
hot-plugged into the hub. Removal of a GBIC from the hub causes the automatic  
bypass of that port. Active ports continue to operate normally with no degradation  
of system performance. Conversely, a GBIC plugged in the hub connected with a  
fiber optic cable to an active node automatically becomes a node on the loop.  
Missing or inoperative nodes are detected and bypassed by the hub. Data is  
automatically routed to the next operational port and node in the loop. LED  
indicators provide status information to service personnel to indicate whether the  
port is active or bypassed.  
The following conditions will cause the bypass of a port:  
Converter transmitter fault  
Loss of received signal amplitude  
Absence of a GBIC  
Off-frequency data, excessive jitter, or inadequate edge transition density  
1-1

Data transfer within the hub is implemented in serial differential Positive Emitter  
Coupled Logic (PECL) AC coupled logic. Each port monitors the serial data input  
stream as well as the media converter connected to it.  
Initiators or targets on the loop represent individual nodes that are linked by the  
shared Fibre Channel loop. The positioning of the initiators or targets on the loop  
depends upon the requirements of your application.  
The front and rear of the hub are shown in FIGURE 1-1 and FIGURE 1-2.

1. Connect the female end of the power cord to the power receptacle at the rear of  
the hub (FIGURE 1-1 on page 1-2).  
2. Route the power cord down the right side and along the bottom of the cabinet.  
3. Route the power cord up through the cutout to the power distribution unit at the  
left side of the cabinet.  
Caution – The power distribution unit serves as the primary disconnect device for  
the hub. Do not connect the hub into a power source other than the power  
distribution unit. Personal injury can result if you work on a hub that is connected  
into another power source, since that power source may still be active when you  
work on the hub.  
4. Connect the power cord for the tray to the power distribution unit.  
If your power distribution unit has a sequencer, connect the first hub to one of the  
four lower outlets. Connect the second hub to one of the four upper outlets.  
5. Tuck the extra length of the power cord down into the pocket beneath the power  
distribution unit.
