2 amps at 110V, 1.6 amps @ 90V

Fibre Channel ports

The two independent 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel ports

can connect the FastStream VT 5300 to either a Fibre

Channel Fabric or Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop

using Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) interface.

SCSI ports

The two SCSI ports connect storage devices into the

Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Each

port is totally independent from the other.

The ports are Ultra 320 SCSI busses with VHDCI

connector, downward compatible with all forms of

single-ended SCSI and all previous SCSI protocols.

Ethernet port

The 10/100 Base T Ethernet port is accessible from the

RJ45 connector. Local diagnostics are supported

through an integrated web server (ATTO FastStream

VT 5300 browser-based user interface), CLI, Telnet

and FTP. Includes support for DHCP, Telnet, FTP,

SNMP and ICMP.
