Port And Application Blades Available On The - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

The SAN384B-2 uses the port numbering for each of the blades that can be
installed in the chassis. See illustrations of the different blades in Appendix E,
"Port numbering," on page 151. Refer to Implementing an IBM/Brocade SAN with 8
Gbps Directors and Switches, (an IBM Redbook), SG24-6116 for more details on port
numbering and other technical information.
Note: This publication was written for earlier products, but many of the practices
Note: Blades are installed in a horizontal orientation in the SAN384B-2 chassis, so
v CR16-8 core blade - Inter-chassis link connectors are numbered from 0 through 7
v FC16-32 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from right to left on
v FC8-32E port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from right to left on
v FC16-48 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from right to left on
v FC8-48E port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from right to left on
v FC8-64 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 31 from right to left on
v FX8-24 FCIP extension blade - The port numbering scheme is fairly complex for

this blade, but is displayed for reference on the blade itself in a diagram towards
the right end of the blade (see Figure 60 on page 153). There are twenty-four
physical ports. Twelve FC ports are located towards the right end of the blade,
with ports 0 through 5 in the lower row, and ports 6 through 11 in the upper
row. Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE or XGE) ports are located in the lower row
of ports and are numbered 0 and 1, from right to left. Ten GbE ports are located
towards the left end of the blade, with eight clustered to the far left, and the
remaining two located above the two 10GbE ports. The GbE ports 0 through 3,
numbered from right to left are located in the lower row to the far left side of
the blade. Ports 4 and 5 are located above the two 10GbE ports, and ports 6
through 9 (numbered right to left) are in the top row above ports 0 through 3.
Up to three FC trunking groups. The three groups are defined as:
– Trunk group 0: FC ports 0, 1
– Trunk group 1: FC ports 6, 7
