SmartIO Interface Module
Function
SmartIO interface modules support 8 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, 16 Gbit/s, 25 Gbit/s, and 32 Gbit/s optical modules. The rate of an optical module must be the same as that marked by the label on the interface module. Otherwise, a storage system alarm is generated and ports on the module cannot be used.
For a Fibre Channel optical module, the enabled auto-negotiation function allows it to auto-negotiate a maximum of three speeds. The Ethernet optical module does not support auto-negotiation. Table 4-51 describes the requirements for the optical modules on the storage system and at the peer end of the storage system.

- The storage system does not support optical modules purchased by the customer elsewhere.
- The working mode and rate of the interface module cannot be modified. Use optical modules that match the storage interface modules. If the customer requires a different rate on the interface module, contact Huawei technical support engineers and purchase a new interface module of the required rate.
Ports
- Figure 4-125, Figure 4-126, Figure 4-127, Figure 4-128, and Figure 4-129 show 8 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, 16 Gbit/s, 25 Gbit/s, and 32 Gbit/s SmartIO interface modules respectively. FE stands for front-end.
Indicators
Table1 Indicator status description for a SmartIO interface module describes the states of indicators and their meanings on a SmartIO interface module after the storage system is powered on.
