Specifications for the IBM SAN96B-5 switch include physical dimensions (Height: 86.74 mm, Depth: 609.75 mm, Width: 429.25 mm) and weight (16.9 kg with two power supplies and three fan assemblies, excluding SFP+ transceivers). Power supply is autoranging (90-264 VAC) and meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements. The switch features a nonblocking shared-memory architecture, a PowerPC CPU @ 1.20 GHz, and complies with FC-SW-3 Rev. 6.6 for fabric initialization. It supports configurable port types (E_Port, F_Port, M_Port, D_Port; EX_Port with license) and FC-IP 2.3. The aggregate switch I/O bandwidth is 1,536 Gbps full duplex, with a local port latency of 700 nanoseconds and a switching latency of 2100 nanoseconds (2.1 microseconds without FEC). Memory includes 4 MB Boot flash, 2 GB Compact flash, and 2 GB Main memory (DDR2 SODIMM, 400 MHz, 72-bit bus).
