The ED-DCX-4S-B 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 four hot-swappable port blade assemblies that can be
configured in a single chassis, delivering up to 192 Fibre Channel
ports.
◆ Two slots for control processor blades (CP8):
• A single active CP8 blade can control all 192 ports in the
chassis.
• The standby CP8 blade assumes control of the ED-DCX-4S-B if
the active CP fails.
◆ Two slots for core switch blades (CR4S-8):
• CR4S-8 blade interconnects all port blades.
• Two inter-chassis link (ICL) connectors per blade connect to
another chassis.
• Both CR4S-8 blades are active.
◆ Modular hot-swappable port blades:
• 16-port, 8-Gbps blades (PB-DCX-16P).
• 32-port, 8-Gbps blades (PB-DCX-32P).
• 48-port, 8-Gbps blades (PB-DCX-48P).
• 6-port, 10-Gbps blades (PB-48K-10G-6).
◆ Modular hot-swappable application blades:
• PB-48K-AP4-18: 18-port (16 FC + 2 10/100/1000 BaseT
Ethernet copper interfaces), up to 4 blades per chassis,
supporting Fibre Channel Application Services and blade
management.
• PB-48K-18i: 18-port (16 FC + 2 GbE), up to 4 blades per chassis,
supporting Fibre Channel Routing Services and FCIP.
◆ Modular hot-swappable encryption blades:
• PB-DCX-16EB: 16-port, up to 4 blades per chassis, supporting
data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and
data-compression capabilities.
