Description
NOTE
Refer to "Power Supply Requirements" section of this Technical Specification for details on minimum
power supplies required for operation and redundancy.
Cooling
Brocade X6-4 Director: Two fan assemblies, nonport-side exhaust or intake, for 1+1 redundancy. Each
assembly contains 2 fans for total of 4. System requires 3 out of 4 functioning fans for operation. One fan
assembly can be hot-swapped, but must be replaced immediately.
Brocade X6-8 Director: Three fan assemblies, nonport-side exhaust or intake, for 2+1 redundancy. Each
assembly contains 2 fans for total of 6. System requires 5 out of 6 functioning fans for operation. One fan
assembly can be hot-swapped, but must be replaced immediately.
System architecture
Nonblocking shared memory
System processors
FreeScale P4080 (8 core), 1.5 GHz
Aggregate bandwidth
Brocade X6-4 Director: 8 Tbps when populated with 192x32 Gbps ports and using 16 ICL ports at 128 Gbps
(including 2 Tbps of ICL bandwidth)
Brocade X6-8 Director: 16 Tbps when populated with 384x32 Gbps and using 32 ICL ports at 128 Gbps
(including 4 Tbps of ICL bandwidth)
Switch latency
FC32-48 blade: <900ns (including FEC) any port to any port local switching and 2.7
μ
sec blade to blade
(including FEC) at 32-Gbps, cut-through routing.
SX6 blade: FC-to-FC <900ns (including FEC) and 2.7
μ
sec any port to any port at 32 Gbps, cut-through
routing.
Maximum frame size
2112-byte payload
Frame buffers
15000 per CR32 core routing blade ASIC
Port types
FC32-48 port blade: F_Port, E_Port, EX_Port, M_Port, SIM, and D_Port
SX6 extension blade: F_Port, FL_Port, E_Port, SIM, and EX_Port on FC, and VE_Port on GbE
NOTE
Self-discovery is based on switch type (U_Port) with an optional port type control.
Data traffic types
Fabric switches supporting unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast
