Notes:
1
Other M-EOS models may participate in a fabric with FOS v6.0.0, but may not be directly attached
via E_port to any products running FOS v6.0.0. The McDATA ED-5000 director may not participate
in a mixed M-EOS/FOS fabric.
2
It is highly recommended that M-EOS products operate with the most recent version of M-EOS
released and supported for interoperability. M-EOS 9.6.2 is the minimum version of firmware that
can be used to interoperate with FOS 6.0.0 or later. M-EOS 9.7 or later is recommended for optimum
fabric performance in a mixed FOS and M-EOS fabric.
