The Dell PowerVault 56F is a 16-port Fibre Channel switch that consists of a remov-
able system board with gigabit interface converter (GBIC) modules, front panel
controls with a liquid crystal display (LCD) for configuration, redundant power sup-
plies, hot-swappable fan pack, and firmware for building and managing a fabric. A
fabric is an active, intelligent, and nonshared interconnect scheme for Fibre Channel
server and storage nodes. One or more switches interconnected create a Fibre Chan-
nel fabric. Figure 1-1 shows the switch view of a PowerVault 56F .
