Director blade FC4-16IP (iSCSI blade) FR4-18i (FCIP/FC Router blade) Number of blades Not supported with the DC SAN Director Supported with Fabric OS 6.0.0b and later with a maximum of four blades of this type. Up to eight FR4-18i blades can be installed if they are used only for FC Fast Write or FCIP without routing. Power supply requirements for Director blades Table 5 lists power supply requirements for Director blades to provide full redundancy (220 VAC power is assumed). IMPORTANT: Director blades must meet minimum Fabric OS levels to operate in the Director chassis. For example, the FC8-32 is not supported in the 4/256 SAN Director with Fabric OS 6.0.x.
