Port blade compatibility
This section provides information on supported blades for each Director.
Supported port blade installation overview
The following high-level blade installation procedures are supported. For more information on
chassisConfig mode see ”Chassis configuration setting” on page 214.
Adding FC2-16 port blades to a 4/256 SAN Director
CP4 control processor blades support the following port blades:
• FC2-16 and FC4-16 port blades in chassisConfig mode 1
• FC4-16, FC4-32, or FC4-48 port blades in chassisConfig mode
NOTE: Do not change the chassisConfig mode, as doing so is disruptive.
• The FC2-16 blades can be used in a 4/256 SAN Director, when only FC4-16 blades are used.
• This procedure is nondisruptive to I/O across the Director, except when individual port blades
are being replaced or if the chassisConfig mode is changed.
Adding B-Series MP Router (FR4-18i) port blades to a 4/256 SAN Director
Prior to installation verify the following requirements:
• Four power supplies are required.
• Chassis Config mode 5 is required.
• Up to two B-Series MP Router port blades can be installed to a single chassis.
