The 4/256 SAN Director features a modular and scalable mechanical construction that allows a
wide range of flexibility fabric design, and maintenance. The 4/256 SAN Director chassis may be
mounted with the cables facing the front of the equipment rack or to the rear, and consists of the
following:
• Hot-swappable port blades, which can be configured in a single chassis, delivering up to 384
Fibre Channel ports.

blades, i.e. FR4-18i or FC4-16IP).
• Cables, cards, and power supplies are serviced from the port side of the 4/256 SAN Director,
and blowers are serviced from the nonport side
• Improved cable management using a redesigned cable management tray and chassis door
• Three blowers, providing cooling, allowing continuous operation even if one blower fails
