EMC Connectrix B Series v6.2 ED-DCX-4S-B Hardware Reference Manual
Hardware Overview
ED-DCX-4S-B features
The ED-DCX-4S-B is a highly robust network switching platform that
combines breakthrough performance, scalability, and energy
efficiency with long-term investment. The ED-DCX-4S-B is designed
to address the data growth and application demands of evolving
enterprise data centers, achieve server, SAN, and data center
consolidation, and reduce infrastructure and administrative costs.
Key features of the ED-DCX-4S-B include:
◆ Up to 192 port horizontal chassis with four usable port blades (in
addition to two core switching and two core processing blades).
◆ Support for all of the application, port blade, and control
processor (CP) blades supported in the ED-DCX-B (with the
exception of the ED-DCX-B Core Switch Blade), thereby
providing flexible system configurations and fewer types of new
blades.
◆ Up to 384 ports can connect with the use of inter-chassis links
(ICLs).
◆ Support for high-performance port blades running at 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-,
or 10-Gbps, enabling flexible system configuration.
◆ Support for 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel
ports. Trunking technology groups up to eight ports to create
high performance 64-Gbps ISL trunks between switches (10 Gbps
ports (PB-48K-10G-6) are 10 Gbps only).
◆ Dual-redundant control processor blades (CP8) and core switch
blades (CR4S-8) that provide high availability and enable
nondisruptive software upgrades.
◆ Redundant and hot-swappable CP8 and CR4S-8 blades, power
supplies, blower assemblies, and WWN cards that enable a high
availability platform for mission-critical SAN applications.
◆ Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, FL_Ports,
EX_Ports and M_Ports (mirror ports). 10 Gbps ports
(PB-48K-10G-6 blade) are E_Ports only.
◆ Data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and data
compression capabilities through the PB-DCX-16EB.
