Introduction 15

For more information about the Fibre Channel modules, see your Dell

PowerEdge system documentation.

Fibre Channel Switch Module

The Fibre Channel switch module provides a switched connection between

the Fibre Channel daughter card in the server modules and a supported Fibre

Channel device. The switch module functions as a director, mapping requests

and responses between the interconnected devices.

Additionally, the Fibre Channel switch module includes an internal serial port

that communicates with the DRAC/MC or CMC module.

The Fibre Channel switch module supports the following configurations:

• Switch-attached configuration with up to two supported Dell/EMC

storage systems

• Switch-attached connection to an external storage area network (SAN)

with up to four supported Dell/EMC storage systems

Fibre Channel Pass-Through Module

The Fibre Channel pass-through module provides a direct connection between

the Fibre Channel daughter card in the server modules and a supported Fibre

Channel device. The pass-through module functions as a dedicated link

between the server modules and specific ports on the pass-through module.

The pass-through module supports the following configurations:

• Direct-attached configuration to a supported Dell/EMC storage system

• Switch-attached connection to an external SAN with up to four supported

Dell/EMC storage systems

Table 1-3 summarizes the supported Fibre Channel module configurations.
