NOTE
Device control processors and management modules contain batteries for RTC/NVRAM backup. Do not
attempt to replace these batteries. Dispose of hardware components containing these batteries as required
by local ordinances and regulations.
•
Two slots for core switch blades (CR16-4):
–
CR16-4 blade interconnects all port blades.
–
Inter-chassis link (ICL) connectors to connect to as many as nine neighboring chassis using Fabric OS v7.0.1 or
later. Only six chassis can be connected using Fabric OS v7.0.0.
–
Both CR16-4 blades are active.
•
Modular, hot-swappable port blades:
–
32-port, 8-Gbps blades (FC8-32E)
–
48-port, 8-Gbps blades (FC8-48E)
–
64-port, 8-Gbps blades (FC8-64)
–
32-port, 16-Gbps blades (FC16-32)
–
48-port, 16-Gbps blades (FC16-48)
–
64-port, 16-Gbps blades (FC16-64)
•
Modular, hot-swappable application blades:
–
FX8-24: 24-port (12 FC, 10 1-GbE, and 2 10-GbE) FCIP extension blade enabling long distance communication
over existing IP infrastructure.
•
Modular, hot-swappable encryption blades:
–
FS8-18: 16-port, up to 4 blades per chassis, supporting in-flight data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and
data-compression capabilities.
•
Modular, hot-swappable field-replaceable units (FRUs):
–
Two blower assemblies.
–
Two power supplies (100-240 VAC autosensing).
•
At 110 VAC (nominal): A minimum of two power supplies is required, regardless of the number of port or
application blades. This configuration does not support high availability.
•
220 VAC (nominal) is recommended for efficiency. A second power supply is required to support high availability.
•
Redundant AC primary power connections ensure high availability. Each power supply has its own connector, so
the number of primary power connections is two for optimum efficiency and redundancy.
–
Two WWN cards.
–
Blades use small form-factor pluggable (SFP+, mSFP, and QSFP) optical transceivers.
•
The 8-Gbps SFP+s and mSFPs auto-negotiate at 2, 4, and 8 Gbps.
•
The 10-Gbps speed must be manually set and requires special 10-Gbps FC SFP+ transceivers.
•
The 16-Gbps SFP+ transceivers support speeds of 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps.
•
The 16-Gbps QSFPs supported on FC16-64 port blade and core blades auto-negotiate at 4, 8, and 16 Gbps.
•
The 16-Gbps fixed-speed QSFPs on the core blades run at 64-Gbps (four fixed 16-Gbps clustered in a single
quad connector and cable).
•
Blades are serviced from the port side of the chassis. Blowers, power supplies, and power cables are serviced from
the nonport side.
•
World Wide Name (WWN) cards on the nonport side, with WWN status LEDs located under the bezel.
•
Two vertical cable management finger assemblies and a redesigned chassis door for improved cable management.
