Port blade overview
The FC32-48 port blade contains 48 ports capable of Fibre Channel (FC) speeds up to 32 Gbps. Port blades connect to core routing
blades through backplane ports. Each core routing blade provides 96 backplane ports for port blade connection. The port blade
supports port-based in-flight encryption/decryption and compression/decompression.
Port and extension blades can be mixed in device slots 3, 4, 7, and 8, but CR32-4 blades must be installed in slots 5 and 6. Up to four
hot-swappable port blades can be installed in a single chassis to provide up to 192 32 Gbps FC ports.
The following optics can be installed in the blade's FC ports:
•
32 Gbps SFP+ transceivers supporting speeds 8,16, and 32 Gbps.
•
16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers supporting speeds of 4, 8, and 16 Gbps.
•
10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers supporting 10 Gbps.
Port blades contain the following LED indicators:
•
Green blade power LED
•
Amber blade status LED
•
Bicolor green/amber FC port status LEDs
