G730 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Device Overview
The Brocade G730 Switch offers the following features and capabilities:
•
Up to 128 ports in a 2U switch.
–
Up to 96 autosensing ports supporting high-performance 64G small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver
port technology in a single domain with non-volatile memory express (NVMe) support from the host to the switch
port on ingress and from the switch port to the target on egress.
–
Up to 16 double density (DD) ports or SFP+ ports supporting 64G Fibre Channel speed. Each DD port is capable of
2 x 64G ports, thus providing an additional 32 ports at 64G.
•
Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-POD) scaling from a base configuration of 48 ports to 128 ports (two 24-port
SFP+ PODs and one 32-port SFP-DD POD).
•
8, 10, 16, 32, and 64G autosensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
–
A 64G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 64G, 32G, or 16G.
–
A 32G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 32G, 16G, or 8G.
–
A 10G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 10G.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum negotiated speed between the installed transceiver and the
optical transceiver at the other end of the link, including any user-configured maximum or fixed speed.
•
Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, D_Ports, or EX_Ports and can be activated on a per-port basis
with the optional Integrated Routing (IR) license. The Diagnostic D_Port mode provides diagnostics, troubleshooting,
and verification services for the physical media.
•
Brocade small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers that support any combination of short wavelength
(SWL), long wavelength (LWL), or extended long wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
•
LEDs:
–
96 bicolor (green/amber) LEDs to indicate the status for each SFP+ port and 16 tricolor (green/amber/white) LEDs
to indicate the status for each SFP-DD port.
–
One green LED to indicate valid system power.
–
One bicolor (green/amber) LED to indicate the system status.
–
Two Ethernet LEDs: one green LED to indicate link speed at 1000/100/10Mb/s and one green LED to indicate
activity.
•
Hardware-enabled input and output (I/O) latency statistics collection.
•
Hardware-enabled VM support.
•
Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long-distance native FC connectivity.
•
A high-performance C3338R processor with two cores operating at 1.8 GHz that delivers high performance, scalability,
and advanced Fabric Vision
®
functionality.
•
One embedded universal serial bus (e-USB) module that provides 4 GB of persistent storage, increased serviceability,
and error logging functionality by facilitating easier firmware upgrades and downloads of the system log files.
•
Two hot-swappable redundant power supply FRUs.
•
Three hot-swappable redundant fan assembly FRUs.
•
Support for nonport-side intake or nonport-side exhaust airflow for cooling.
•
Serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (SEEPROM) for switch identification.
•
Secure boot.
•
Real-time power monitoring, voltage monitoring, and fan monitoring, including airflow direction.
•
Real-time digital thermometers for temperature monitoring.
•
Real-time clock (RTC) with battery.
•
