Installation: ATTO iPBridge 2500C
1.2 ATTO iPBridge 2500C
The ATTO iPBridge 2500C is a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to SCSI embeddable cPCI bridge for high
performance, cost effective solutions in enterprise environments.
The iPBridge 2500C includes two Ethernet data
ports, an Ethernet management port which may be
used as a data port in the iPBridge 2500 iSCSI-
configured model, a serial management port and
two SCSI ports. It includes a battery-backed Real-
Time-Clock, and an IP Time client (RFC 1631
compliant).
Dimensions
Width:
6.193 inches
Length:
6.375 inches
Height of tallest component:
.535 inches
Environment
Operating Temperature:
0-70°C external
Ambient air should not exceed 40°C.
User-configurable thermal sensor
for automatic
shutdown default is 70°C
Humidity:
10-90% non-condensing
Recommended airflow:
11 cubic feet per minute
Power
The iP2500C board may be powered from the
cPCI backplane or a 6-pin connector.
Input voltage:
5.0V DC ±5% derived from cPCI
or 6-pin connection. Fused at the backplane and
hot swap protection.
Power draw:
3 amps at 5.0V DC. Battery-backed
event log SRAM: A rechargeable Lithium ion
battery cell or Super Cap holds the memory in a
512KB SRAM based on the following chart.
Recharging begins automatically when power is
restored to the system.
WARNING
Risk of explosion if the battery is removed
and/or replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with your local environmental regulations.
SCSI interface
The two independent SCSI ports on the iPBridge
2500C connect storage devices into the Ethernet
Storage Area Network (SAN). Each port is
completely independent.
The ports are Ultra 3 LVD/SE SCSI busses with
68-pin “P” interface: 160 MB/sec. maximum
throughput, downward compatible with all forms
of single-ended SCSI.
The iPBridge supports all SCSI devices including
hard disk drives, tape drives, RAID controllers
and DVD, MO and CD libraries.
Ethernet interface
The two independent 10/100/1000 GbE RJ45 data
ports, labeled Ethernet port 0 and Ethernet port 1,
use the Intel 8254x family gigabit Ethernet
chipset to support telnet-based data transfer. A
separate 10/100/1000 Ethernet standard RJ45
management port, labeled Ethernet port 2 and
which may be used as a data port in the iPBridge
2500 iSCSI-configured model, provides
monitoring and management through ATTO
ExpressNAV, a browser-based interface.
