1–General Description
I/O Blades
59229-05 A 1-5
Fibre Channel ports are numbered based on the blade ID as shown in Figure 1-3 .
For example, for I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC8G16 or FC4G16, ports are
always numbered 0–15. IO1 ports would be numbered 16–31, and so on up to a
maximum of 127. For I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC10G4, ports are always
numbered 0–3. FC ports can also be identified by I/O blade and port number. For
example, port 0 is also known as IO0-0. The ports configure themselves to
communicate with devices and other switches.
Each I/O blade features a set of LEDs, Fibre Channel (FC) ports, and FC port
LEDs as shown in
Figure 1-3 .
