Connect a Slammer to the Data Network
Prerequisites:
● NAS data paths require 1 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 10 GbE connections.
Both fiber and copper connections are supported.
○ For optical connections: The 1 GbE connections require Pillar supplied
1 GbE small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules and the 10 GbE
connections require Pillar supplied 10 GbE SFP Plus modules.
○ For copper connections: The 10 GbE connections require direct
attached copper cables with SFP Plus connectors.
● SAN data paths require 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, or 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel
(FC) optical multi-mode connections. Use Pillar supplied SFP modules for
the respective optical Fiber Channel (FC) connections.
Note: The type of connection (GbE or FC) was specified when the system was
ordered. Contact your Account Representative if you need to change the type.
Caution
Do not mix the SFP modules for the various optical front
end connections. Use only the Pillar supplied SFP modules
for the respective front end connections.
