Lenovo B300 FC SAN Switch
Product Guide
The Lenovo B300 FC SAN Switch (Machine Type 3873) provides small to medium-sized enterprises with
Storage Area Network (SAN) connectivity that simplifies their IT management infrastructures, improves
system performance, maximizes the value of virtual server deployments, and reduces overall storage
costs.
The Lenovo B300 is a 1U rack-mount 8 Gb Fibre Channel switch with up to 24 ports (8 ports licensed by
default; the remaining ports can be licensed in 8-port increments) that support 2/4/8 Gbps speeds. The
switch offers a rich set of standard software features with the options to expand its capabilities as needed.
The Lenovo B300 features the EZSwitchSetup wizard and can be configured in Access Gateway Mode to
simplify deployment. The switch provides full non-blocking performance with Ports On Demand scalability
to support SAN expansion and enable long-term investment protection.
