ATTO Technology Inc. FibreBridge Installation and Operation Manual
1.0 Installing the ATTO FibreBridge
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products provides Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges as standard PCI
boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rack mount integration, or desktop units, depending
on the model and your needs.
Fibre Channel is a serial communications
technology designed to transfer large amounts of
data between a variety of hardware systems over
long distances. It is a key technology for
applications that require shared, high bandwidth
access to storage.
Fibre Channel provides a logical point-to point
serial channel for the transfer of data between a
buffer at a source device and a buffer at a
destination device. It moves buffer contents from
one port to another, without regard to the format
or meaning of the data, so different upper level
protocols are able to run over Fibre Channel
hardware.
The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a
hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within
these layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial
encoding and decoding, error control, frame
format and communications protocols.
All ATTO FibreBridge
TM
models can be used in a
SAN (Storage Area Network) to connect a variety
of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to meet your
needs.
A SAN is a shared storage architecture connecting
computers and storage devices for online data
access. Each connected system can directly access
any attached storage device. Storage devices
could include RAID, tape backup, tape library,
CD-ROM library or JBOD.
SANs maintain greater fault tolerance and load
balancing by supporting server clustering and
failover (the ability for one server to take over for
another in the event of a failure).
The ATTO FibreBridge provides the interface
between SCSI and Fibre Channel resources in
SANs. Possible configurations depend upon your
current hardware and what you need to do.
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products shares
common configuration options and functions to
provide the most versatile connectivity options
available. Each product has been engineered to
address specific customer needs. New capabilities
are integrated into products throughout the
FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring
only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them
into your SAN (see Updating firmware on page
79). To make sure you have the most up-to-date
version of the firmware, visit the ATTO
Technology website,
www.attotech.com .
All ATTO FibreBridge models are operating
system independent and include full duplex mode,
Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect
capabilities.

ATTO Technology Inc. FibreBridge Installation and Operation Manual
1.1 Cabling
ATTO FibreBridge SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage Area
Network (SAN). Use an Ethernet connection to use the ATTO ExpressNAV interface (not available for
the FibreBridge 1180).
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both
ends with the proper connectors.
SCSI port connections
The FibreBridge supports a wide variety of SCSI
storage devices including stand-alone drives,
removable drives, JBODs, tape, CD and DVD
drives, changers, libraries and magneto optical
drives.
Each SCSI port is totally independent from the
other SCSI port. Each bus may support up to 15
devices and each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the
appropriate sync rates with the connected devices.
If slower devices are mixed with faster devices,
the bus will communicate at the rate of the slowest
device.
Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and
faster devices to the other port.
Connect a SCSI connector from the SCSI device
to a SCSI port on the FibreBridge.
Check the type of cable, cable length limit and
number of devices recommended for each port.
Keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure
the highest signal quality and performance. These
cable lengths include the wiring inside the
devices.
Fibre Channel connections
Fibre Channel technology offers a variety of
cabling options. The type of cable required varies
depending upon the application, environment and
distance.
The type of connector depends on the FibreBridge
model.

Installation: Fibre Channel ports
Serial port connections
The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote service
operations over the RS-232 serial port using
standard terminal emulation software available
with most systems.
Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null
modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial
port and one of the computer's serial COM ports.
A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter
may be needed depending on the cables being
used.
Ethernet connections
This section does not apply to the ATTO
FibreBridge 1180.
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides remote
monitoring and management using the ATTO
ExpressNAV interface.
When you connect an Ethernet cable between the
FibreBridge and a 10/100Base-T connection, you
may need a crossover cable connecting directly to
a computer. The ATTO FibreBridge will auto
detect the Ethernet speed by default.
