1. 40GbE port 0
2. 40GbE port 1
3. 10/1GbE ports 2–9 (right to left)
4. 10/1GbE ports 10–17 (right to left)
5. FC ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 (right to left)
6. FC ports 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 (right to left)
Following are the eight-port Fibre Channel port groups for configuring trunk groups or "trunks":
•
Port group 0: ports 0–7
•
Port group 1: ports 8–15
Following are the requirements for forming trunk groups:
•
All ports in a trunk group must belong to the same port group. For example, to form an 8-port trunk select all eight ports
from port group 0 or port group 1. You cannot use ports from each port group for the trunk.
•
You can use from 1 to 8 ports in a port group to form a trunk.
•
Ports must be running at the same speed.
•
Ports must be configured for the same distance.
•
Ports must have the same encryption, compression, QoS, and FEC settings.
•
Trunk groups must be created between Brocade switches (or Brocade adapters in the case of F_Port trunking).
Brocade trunking is proprietary and is not supported on third-party switches.
•
There must be a direct connection between participating switches.
For full details on trunking requirements and configuration, refer to the
Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide

Blade-Specific Precautions
This document describes how to remove and replace a port or extension blade.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing device blades and cards. Follow
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the chassis is
plugged in) or a bench ground.
•
Install only port and extension blades in slots 3–4 and 7–8. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for CR32-4 blades. These
blades cannot be installed in other slots with guide pins and connectors in each slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
