Brocade DCX 8510-4 blades

Function
The CP8 blade contains the control plane for the chassis. There
are two CP8 blades for redundancy. This control processor blade
is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8, Brocade DCX 8510-4,
Brocade DCX, and Brocade DCX-4S.
The CR16-4 blade contains the ASICs for switching between port
blades. Every port blade connects to each core switch blade.
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 Brocade DCX 8510-4.
A 64-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port
speeds with mSFPs. This port blade is compatible with the
Brocade DCX 8510-8, Brocade DCX 8510-4, Brocade DCX, and
Brocade DCX-4S.
A 32-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre
Channel port speeds. This port blade is compatible with the
Brocade DCX 8510-8 and Brocade DCX 8510-4. This blade
requires Fabric OS v7.0.1 or later to run in this chassis.
A 48-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre
Channel port speeds. This port blade is compatible with the
Brocade DCX 8510-8 and Brocade DCX 8510-4. This blade
requires Fabric OS v7.0.1 or later to run in this chassis.
A 32-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps
Fibre Channel port speeds. The blade also supports port-based
in-flight encryption/decryption and compression/decompression.
This port blade is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and
Brocade DCX 8510-4 and requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later to run
in this chassis.
A 48-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps
Fibre Channel port speeds. The blade also supports port-based
in-flight encryption/decryption and compression/decompression.
This port blade is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and
Brocade DCX 8510-4 and requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later to run
