• The FR4-18i routing blade must not be inserted in slot 10 of the chassis. (Other blades are supported in
slot 10, but the FR4-18i blade is not.) FICON channels and control units can be attached only to the FC
ports on this blade. This blade is advertised to the mainframe as a 16-port blade. If you have an
FC4-18i blade in slot 10 in your director, the 16 virtual ports are disabled when you enable fmsmode.
• The FC4-48 and FC8-48 port blades must not be inserted in slot 10 of the chassis in a FICON
configuration. (Other blades are supported in slot 10, but the FC8-48 and FC4-48 blades are not.) Port

FICON commands
Table 61 summarizes the Fabric OS CLI commands that can be used for managing FICON fabrics. For
detailed information on these commands, see the Fabric OS Command Reference.
NOTE: The Fabric OS CLI supports only a subset of the management features for FICON fabrics. The full
set of FICON CUP administrative procedures is available using the Fabric Manager and Web Tools
software features. You can also use an SNMP agent and the FICON Management Information Base (MIB).
