IBM TotalStorage SAN Switch Model M14
The IBM 2109 TotalStorage SAN Switch Model M14 is designed to support up to eight 16-port Fibre
Channel switch blades enabling a single domain director with up to 128 universal (E, F, and FL), full
duplex, auto-sensing ports in a single 14U enclosure. Each port is capable of self-negotiation to the
highest speed supported by the attached SAN infrastructure, operating at either 1 or 2 Gbps
throughput. Distances up to 10 km, 35 km, or 70 km are supported using the appropriate optional
longwave laser transceiver and 9.0u fiber cables. Shortwave laser transceivers support distances up
to 500 m at 1 Gbps and up to 300 m at 2 Gbps with 50.0u fiber cables.
Highlights:
Full Fabric operation and Universal Port operation on all M14 ports (F_Port, FL_Port, and E_Port)

* The QuickLoop RPQ (8S0521) provides the firmware that enables devices connected to ports of the switch to be handled as private
loop devices. QuickLoop creates a unique Fibre Channel topology that allows host bus adapters (such as the #2765 and #2766 with
OS/400 V5R1) that use FC-AL without knowledge of SAN fabric, to communicate with FC-AL storage devices. QuickLoop allows
individual switch ports to be designated as arbitrated loop ports, allowing a private host initiator to communicate with arbitrated loop
storage devices as though they were all contained in one logical loop.
