Supported I/O modules
The FC3052 2-port 8Gb FC Adapter supports the I/O modules listed in the following table. One or two
compatible switches must be installed in the corresponding I/O bays in the chassis. Installing two
switches means that both ports of the adapter are enabled. When the adapter is paired with a 16 Gb
switch, those internal switch ports will operate at 8 Gbps.
