Blade terminology and compatibility 2 TABLE 3 Term Brocade enterprise-class platform terminology and abbreviations (Continued) Abbreviation Blade ID Definition (slotshow) 48-port 8-Gbps port blade FC8-48 51 6-port 10-Gbps port blade FC10-6 39 A 48-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds. The Brocade DCX and DCX-4S support loop devices on 48-port blades in Virtual Fabrics-enabled environment. The loop devices can only be attached to ports on a 48-port blade that is not a part of the default logical switch. A 6-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 10 Gbps port speed. Blade provides 10-Gbps ISLs. This port blade is compatible only with the Brocade 48000 CP blades (using chassis configuration option 5) and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades. Fibre Channel Router blade FR4-18i 24 iSCSI Bridge blade FC4-16IP 31 Fibre Channel Application blade FA4-18 33 Brocade Encryption blade FS8-18 43 Converged Enhanced Ethernet FCOE10-24 74 blade A 16-port Fibre Channel routing and FCIP blade that also has 2 GbE ports and is compatible only with the Brocade 48000 (using chassis configuration option 5) and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades. An iSCSI bridge blade that enables bridging of iSCSI hosts to Fibre Channel fabrics. It has 8 Fibre Channel optical SFP ports and 8 GbE copper RJ-45 ports. This blade is currently compatible with the Brocade 48000 CP blades (using chassis configuration option 5). An application blade that has 16 (1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps) ports supporting Fibre Channel Application Services and two 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet copper interfaces supporting blade management. An application blade that provides high performance 32 port auto-sensing 8 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity with data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities. An application blade that provides Converged Enhanced Ethernet to bridge a Fibre Channel and Ethernet SAN. DCX Extension blade FX8-24 75 A 24-port Fibre Channel routing and FCIP blade that also has 10 1-GbE and two 10-GbE ports and is compatible only with the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades. CP blades The control processor (CP) blade provides redundancy and acts as the brains of the enterprise-class platform. The Brocade 48000 supports the CP256 blade. The Brocade DCX and DCX-4S support the CP8 blades. The CP blades in the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S are hot-swappable. When the CPs from a Brocade DCX are inserted into a Brocade DCX-4S, the switch type changes. The same is true when inserting a CP blade from a Brocade DCX-4S into a Brocade DCX. When a CP blade with a Fabric OS prior to v6.2.0 is inserted into a Brocade DCX-4S, the blade becomes faulty. You can correct this issue by upgrading the firmware on the CP blade in a Brocade DCX or DCX-4S chassis. Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 31 53-1001336-01
