Description
Product overview
The Lenovo ThinkSystem DB730S Fibre Channel Switch is a Gen 7 high-density building block that enables dense rack-mount environments to connect more devices and build larger fabrics. Its 128 line-rate 64G FC ports in a 2U design allow organizations to create high-scale fabrics in less space. This product guide provides essential technical and pre-sales information on the ThinkSystem DB730S FC SAN Switch, its key features and specifications, components and options, and configuration guidelines. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the DB730S and consider its use in IT solutions.
Key capabilities
- Machine type: 7D9J
- Fibre Channel Ports: 128 ports (96 64G SFP+ ports, plus 16 2x64G SFP-DD ports), each supporting E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.; 48-port base configuration; additional ports are enabled with two 24-port SFP+ PODs (Ports on Demand), plus a 32-port SFP-DD POD (16 2x64G SFP-DD transceivers), scaling the switch from 48 ports to 128 ports. The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 8, 16, 32, or 64G speeds depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
- Scalability: Full-fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches
- Certified maximum: 4K active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade Fabric OS® fabrics
- Performance: Non-blocking architecture with wire-speed forwarding of traffic: 8GFC: 8.5 Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 10GFC: 10.53 Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 10Gb/s optionally programmable to fixed port speed.; 16GFC: 14.025 Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 32GFC: 28.05 Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 64GFC: 57.8 Gb/s line speed, full duplex
