1–General Description I/O Blades

Initially, the alternate Ethernet ports are inactive, thus requiring that you make the Ethernet connection on the primary CPU blade. You can activate the alternate primary Ethernet port on the Maintenance Panel using QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or the CLI.

NOTE:

You can activate both Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports or both CPU blade Ethernet ports by installing the Fault Tolerant license key. Refer to “Installing Feature License Keys” on page 3-28.

I/O Blades

The I/O blades transmit and receive I/O traffic. There are three types of I/O blades:

A 4-Gbps I/O blade has 16 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports and is capable of 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps transmission.

The optional 8-Gbps I/O blade has 16 SFP+ ports and is capable of 8-, 4-, or 2-Gbps transmission.

A 10-Gbps I/O blade has four X2 ports and is capable of 10-Gbps transmission. 10-Gbps I/O blades are used to connect to a QLogic 5000 series switch using an X2-XPAK stacking cable, or to another QLogic 9000 Series switch using an X2-X2 stacking cable.

An I/O blade slot is known by its blade ID and is configured with a blade type. The I/O blade IDs are a composite of the IO descriptor and slot number. For example, the blade ID for an I/O blade in slot 0 would be IO0 and so on through IO7.

The blade type is the operating characteristic of the I/O slot that defines the supported protocol, transmission speed, and number of ports. The switch automatically configures the I/O slot blade type based on the installed I/O blade. The following blade types are supported:

FC8G16–Fibre Channel 8/4/2-Gbps I/O blade

FC4G16–Fibre Channel 4/2-Gbps I/O blade

FC10G4–Fibre Channel 10-Gbps I/O blade.
