Our F630 filer has a 1000Base-SX card in it that we aren't using. We note that this is a "fiber" Gigabit, but all our other facilities are copper (1000Base-T). Is there an easy (i.e., cheap) way to convert?
If the card has a non-fixed GBIC, you could pull it out and replace it with a copper one - looks like they're on ebay for ~$50 (seems cheap to me, I'd check the part number). Otherwise, you'll need a media converter, which are generally pretty expensive.
Thanks.
I hear you on the expensive part. Ouch on the fiber stuff. All very pricey.
We are running NetApp Release 5.3.6R2. Is this conversion simply pull the old card, replace with new one?
