Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top.
No 32 8-Gbps port blade supporting 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 32 8-Gbps port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
No 48 8-Gbps port blade supporting 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 48 8-Gbps port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds.

ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 64 8-Gbps port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds. The Brocade
DCX and Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone families support loop devices on
64-port blades in a Virtual Fabric-enabled environment. The loop devices
can only be attached to ports on a 64-port blade that is not a part of the
default logical switch.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 31 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 32 through 63 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 32 A 32-port, 16-Gbps port blade supporting 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps port
speeds.
NOTE: 10 Gbps speed for FC16-xx blades requires the 10G license.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 48 A 48-port, 16-Gbps port blade supporting 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps port
speeds.
NOTE: 10 Gbps speed for FC16-xx blades requires the 10G license.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from bottom to top on the left set of
ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.
Yes 16 FC Brocade Encryption blade that provides high performance 32-port
auto-sensing 8-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity with data cryptographic
2 GbE
(encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities.
Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top.
GbE ports are numbered ge0 through ge1 from top to bottom.
Going from top to bottom, the 2 GbE ports appear on the top of the blade
followed by the 16 FC ports.
