1793.0. "DECswitch 900 EF Configuration" by HGOM11::TYRONELIN () Tue Aug 29 1995 23:12

    Hi,
    
    I want to connect a server directly to DECswitch 900 EF using SAS(UTP 
    or Fiber). There is no FDDI concentrator. I use M port in EF to connect
    FDDI NIC(UTP or SAS Fiber).
    
    Is this a right configuration?
    
    Thanks,

    Tyrone, the DECswitch 900EF will not support FDDI front port
    UTP connections in either the HUB or standalone. However UTP
    support does exist for a 900EF in a DEF1H (high end docking station)
    where MOD PMD's types can be inter-mixed in the DEF1H.
    
    >>I use M port in EF to connect FDDI NIC(UTP or SAS Fiber).
    
    In a tree topology, an M port in the EF to an end node (server in your
    case) would work.

    You can do with a fiber SAS card.
