Function
The CR16-4 blade contains
the ASICs for switching
between port blades. There
can be up to 192 16-Gbps
(256 8 Gbps) total ports for
port blades. Each core
switch blade connects to
128 backplane ports. Core
switch blades have
additional front port
connectivity to connect
multiple chassis and
backplane connections for
the storage server blade.
This core switch blade is
compatible only with the
SAN384B-2.
