Product Description

The EMC 203-801-940C is a specialized Fibre Channel mezzanine card designed to function as both a Front End and Back End director within EMC storage architectures. This card is equipped with four ports, each capable of operating at 2Gb Fibre Channel speeds, facilitating high-speed data transfer between storage arrays and servers or other storage devices. The integration of ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) controllers ensures efficient and dedicated processing for Fibre Channel operations, optimizing performance and reliability. This particular model is specified as Non-RoHS compliant, indicating it was manufactured prior to or without adherence to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. While functional, this designation is important for compliance and environmental considerations in certain regions or organizations. The card's primary role is to provide the necessary connectivity and intelligence for EMC's storage systems, enabling them to communicate effectively within a SAN (Storage Area Network) environment. As a director-class mezzanine card, the 203-801-940C is a critical component for maintaining the high-speed data paths required by enterprise storage solutions. It allows for the expansion and connectivity of EMC storage arrays, ensuring that data can be accessed and managed efficiently. Its specific design for 2Gb Fibre Channel means it is intended for environments utilizing this particular generation of Fibre Channel technology.
