FC4- 1 6IP blade—the port numbering is divided between the two type of ports. At the bottom of the
blade are the FC ports numbered from 0 through 7 bottom to top. The next eight ports are GbE ports
and are numbered from GE0 through GE7 bottom to top.
IMPORTANT:
Director. The FC4- 1 6IP will be supported in a future version of Fabric OS.
Managing cables
The cable management comb (see
for simple cable management. The comb can be installed without service disruption.
Route cables down in front of the blades to keep LEDs visible. Leave at least one meter of slack for each
fiber optic cable to provide room to remove and replace blades.
IMPORTANT:
port side of the chassis.
If ISL Trunking is in use, group the cables by trunking group. The ports are color-coded to indicate which
ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: eight ports marked with solid black ovals alternate with
eight ports marked with oval outlines. See
and distances.
Using the optional HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director
Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) cable kit
You can purchase the optional HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) cable
kit, HP part number AK862A. The kit increases the number of ports by interconnecting two DC Director
chassis.

cables in one of the configurations shown.
NOTE:
Connect the cables from the top connectors (ICL 1) of the CR8 blades in the first chassis to the
bottom connectors (ICL 0) of the CR8 blades in the second chassis.
Similarly, connect the cables from the bottom connectors (ICL 0) of the CR8 blades in the first chassis to the
top connectors (ICL 1) of the CR8 blades in the second chassis.
The cables can cross between the slot 5 CR8 blade and the slot 8 CR8 blade as long as the top-to-bottom
rule is followed.
At the time of this document's release, the FC4- 1 6IP is not supported in the DC
