A6685 - Multi or Single?

Robin King_1 — Fri, 07 Nov 2003 05:02:02 GMT

I've purchased a Fibre Interface for a HP9000 K370. Our networking guys asked if it uses multimode or single. The Brocade switch I will be patching into is using multimode cards. How do I know if my A6685 can handle multimode?

Thanks

Does it has any markings that say SX or LX or LH?

Didn't realise, but you can actually pull the card out of the interface, and multi-mode was written on it.

Cool.

LH SX & LX may sometimes be marked on the box in which the card came. That would have said something about the type of fiber it'd take.
