Hardware components The DC 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, and consists of the following: • Up to eight hot-swappable Director blade assemblies can be configured in a single chassis, delivering up to 384 FC ports • Two slots for CP blades (CP8): • A single active CP8 blade can control all 384 ports in the chassis. • The standby CP8 blade assumes control of the DC SAN Director if the active CP fails. • Two slots for core switch blades (CR8): • CR8 blade interconnects all Director blades • Two inter-chassis link (ICL) connectors per blade to connect to another DC SAN Director chassis • Both CR8 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): • Three blower assemblies • Up to four power supplies • At 240 VAC, two power supplies are required to provide redundancy, although the DC SAN Director can be fully powered with a single power supply at 240 VAC. At 110 VAC, four power supplies are required when using the FR4-18i blade. • Two redundant WWN cards on the non-port side, to maintain chassis-specific information such as WWNs, IP addresses, and summary status information for each Director blade and power supply through LEDs • 4-Gb and 8-Gb Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers (4-Gb SFPs operate at 1 Gb, 2 Gb or 4 Gb. 8-Gb SFPs operate at 2 Gb, 4 Gb or 8 Gb.) • Extended Form-factor Pluggable (XFP) optical transceivers (10-Gb/s) • All blades are serviced from the port side of the DC SAN Director.

Hardware components
The DC 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, and consists of the following:
•
Up to eight hot-swappable Director blade assemblies can be configured in a single chassis, deliv-
ering up to 384 FC ports
•
Two slots for CP blades (CP8):
•
A single active CP8 blade can control all 384 ports in the chassis.
•
The standby CP8 blade assumes control of the DC SAN Director if the active CP fails.
•
Two slots for core switch blades (CR8):
•
CR8 blade interconnects all Director blades
•
Two inter-chassis link (ICL) connectors per blade to connect to another DC SAN Director chassis
•
Both CR8 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):
•
Three blower assemblies
•
Up to four power supplies
•
At 240 VAC, two power supplies are required to provide redundancy, although the DC SAN
Director can be fully powered with a single power supply at 240 VAC.
At 110 VAC, four power supplies are required when using the FR4-18i blade.
•
Two redundant WWN cards on the non-port side, to maintain chassis-specific information such
as WWNs, IP addresses, and summary status information for each Director blade and power
supply through LEDs
•
4-Gb and 8-Gb Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers (4-Gb SFPs operate at
1 Gb, 2 Gb or 4 Gb. 8-Gb SFPs operate at 2 Gb, 4 Gb or 8 Gb.)
•
Extended Form-factor Pluggable (XFP) optical transceivers (10-Gb/s)
•
All blades are serviced from the port side of the DC SAN Director. Blowers, power supplies, and
power cables are serviced from the non-port side
