Figure 11: Director components--front
CTP Card
The Director ships with two Control Processor (CTP) cards. The active CTP card
initializes and configures the Director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and
associated logic that coordinate Director operation. The second CTP card serves as a
Overview 13
backup. A CTP card provides an Initial Machine Load (IML) button on the faceplate.
When the button is pressed and held for three seconds, the Director reloads firmware and
resets the CTP card without switching off power or affecting operational fibre-optic links.
Each CTP card also provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted pair
connector on the faceplate that attaches to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
Each CTP card provides System Services Processor (SSP) and Embedded Port (EP)
subsystems. The SSP subsystem runs Director applications and the underlying operating
system, communicates with Director ports, and controls the RS-232 maintenance port and
10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The EP subsystem provides Class F processing, and manages
frame transmission to and from the Serial Crossbar Assembly (SBAR). In addition, CTP
cards provide non-volatile memory for storing firmware.
Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that lights if the card is
operational and active, and an amber LED that lights if the card fails. The LED is not lit on
the backup CTP.
Front Bezel
The bezel at the top front of the Director includes two indicator LEDs. The green power
LED lights when the Director is powered on and operational. If the LED turns off, a
facility power source, alternating current (AC) power cord, or Director power distribution
failure is indicated.
The amber system error LED lights when the Director detects an event requiring
immediate operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long
as an event is active. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled.
Cable Management Assembly
The cable management assembly positioned at the front of the Director provides routing
for Ethernet cables attached to CTP cards and fibre-optic cables attached to Director ports.
The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant power supplies.
14 SAN Director 64 Installation Guide
Power Supplies
The Director uses redundant, load-sharing power supplies which step down and rectify
facility input power to provide 48-Volt Direct Current (VDC) power to Director FRUs.
The power supplies also provide over-voltage and over-current protection. Either power
supply can be replaced while the Director is powered on and operational. Each power
supply has a separate backplane connection to allow for different AC power sources.
The power supplies are input rated at 85 to 264 volts alternating current (VAC). The
faceplate of each power supply provides the following status LEDs.
s A green PWR OK LED lights if the power supply is operational and receiving AC
power.
s An amber FAULT LED lights if the power supply fails.
s An amber TEMP LED lights if the power supply shuts down due to an over
temperature condition.
s An amber I LIM LED lights if the power supply is overloaded and operating at the
current limit (15.6 amperes).
Power supply requirements are listed in Appendix C, "Technical Specifications."
FPM Card
Each Fibre Port Module (FPM) card provides four full-duplex generic ports (G_Ports) that
transmit or receive data at 1.0625 gigabits per second (Gbps). G_Port functionality
depends on the type of cable attachment. FPM cards use Non-Open Fibre Control (NOFC)
Class 1 laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Subpart (J) as of the date of manufacture.
Depending on device connections, G_Ports work as follows.
s If the G_Port is attached to a Fibre Channel device, the port functions as a fabric port
(F_Port). An F_Port is the interface on a Director that connects to a device N_Port.
s If the G_Port is attached to another Director to form an Interswitch Link (ISL), the port
functions as an expansion port (E_Port). A multi-switch fabric is formed through
multiple Directors and ISLs.
Figure 12 shows the faceplate of an FPM.

2 Port LEDs
3 Port Connectors (G_Ports)
Figure 12: FPM card LEDs and connectors
Single-mode or multi-mode fibre-optic cables attach to FPM cards through small form
factor (SFF) pluggable optic transceivers. The fibre-optic transceivers provide duplex
connectors, and can be detached from FPM cards (through a 10-pin interface) for easy
replacement. Two fibre-optic transceiver types are available.
s Short-wave Laser--Short-wave laser transceivers provide connections for transferring
data over short distances (2 to 500 meters) through 50-micron (500 meters) or
62.5-micron (200 meters) multi-mode fibre.
s Long-wave Laser--Long-wave laser transceivers provide connections for transferring
data over long distances (up to 20 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fibre.
NOTE: Compaq recommends 50 micron fiber optic cable for any new installation requiring
multi-mode fiber.

Figure 13: Director components--rear
Fan Modules
Two fan modules, each containing three fans (six fans total), provide cooling for Director
FRUs, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a fan fails.
The fan module can be replaced while the Director is powered on and operating, provided
the module is replaced within ten minutes (after which software powers off the Director).
An amber LED for each fan module lights if one or more fans fail or rotate at insufficient
velocity.
Overview 17
SBAR Assembly
The Director ships with two SBAR assemblies. The active SBAR is responsible for Fibre
Channel frame transmission from any Director port to any other Director port.
Connections are established without software intervention. The assembly accepts a
connection request from a port, determines if a connection can be established, and
establishes the connection if the destination port is available. The assembly also stores
busy, source connection, and error status for each Director port.
The backup SBAR takes over operation if the active assembly fails, and provides the
ability to maintain connectivity and data frame transmission without interruption. The
transition to the backup assembly is transparent to attached devices.
Each SBAR assembly consists of a card and steel carriage that mounts flush on the
backplane. The carriage provides protection for the back of the card, distributes cooling
airflow, and assists in aligning the assembly during installation. The rear of the carriage
contains a green LED that lights if the assembly is operational and active, and an amber
LED that lights if the assembly fails. The amber LED blinks if FRU beaconing is enabled.
Power Module Assembly
The power module assembly is located at the bottom rear of the Director. The module
provides the following.
s Two single-phase AC power connectors. Each connector is input rated at 85 to 264
VAC.
s A power switch (circuit breaker) that controls AC power distribution to both power
supplies. The breaker is set manually, or is automatically tripped by internal software if
thermal sensors indicate the Director is overheated.
s A 9-pin maintenance port that provides a connection for a local terminal or dial-in
connection for a remote terminal.
