HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Hardware Reference Guide

• Redundant and hot-swappable CP8 and CR8 blades, power supplies, blower assemblies, and
WWN cards enable a high availability platform for mission critical SAN applications.
• Inter-chassis linking (ICL) through CR8 blades.
• Universal ports self-configure as E_ports, F_ports, FL_ports, Ex_ports, and M_ports (mirror ports).
NOTE:
10-Gb/s (FC10-6) are E-Ports only.
Hardware components
The DC04 SAN Director features a modular and scalable mechanical construction that allows a wide
range of flexibility in installation, fabric design, and maintenance. The chassis may be mounted with
the cables facing the front of the equipment rack or to the rear.
NOTE:
The chassis should be mounted with the air intake (non-port side) mounted towards the cool air aisle,
not towards the aisle where heated exhaust air is coming from other components.
The DC04 SAN Director chassis consists of the following:
• Up to four hot-swappable port blade assemblies that can be configured in a single chassis, deliv-
ering up to 192 Fibre Channel ports.
• Two slots for CP blades (CP8):
• A single active CP8 blade can control all 192 ports in the chassis.
• The standby CP8 blade assumes control of the DC04 SAN Director if the active CP fails.
• Two slots for core switch blades (CR4S-8):
• The CR4S-8 blade interconnects all Director blades.
• Two ICL connectors per blade to connect to another DC04 SAN Director chassis or to a DC
SAN Director.
• Both CR4S-8 blades are active.
• Modular hot-swappable Director blades:
• 16-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-16)
• 32-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-32)
• 48-port, 8-Gb/s blades (FC8-48)
• 6-port, 10-Gb/s blades (FC10-6)
• Modular hot-swappable application blades:
• FR4-18i, 18-port (16 FC + 2 GbE), up to four blades per chassis, supporting FCR Services and
FCIP
• Modular hot-swappable field replaceable units (FRUs):
• Two blower assemblies
• Two 100 to 240 VAC power supplies
• At 240 VAC, two power supplies are required to provide redundancy, although the DC04
SAN Director can be fully powered with a single power supply at 240 VAC.
