operates with the Fabric OS and can communicate with another B-Series MP Router port blade or a
HP StorageWorks 400 MP Router for both Fibre Channel Routing services and FCIP, or an HP
StorageWorks Multi-protocol Router for Fibre Channel Routing Services (FCRS).
The B-Series MP Router Blade can be installed only in a 4/256 SAN Director configured in
chassisConfig mode 5, with Fabric OS 5.1.x or higher. The B-Series MP Router Blade requires that
the 4/256 SAN Director operates with four power supplies installed. A maximum of two B-Series
MP Router Blades can be installed in a 4/256 SAN Director.
