TABLE 1 Blades available for the Brocade DCX 8510-4

Description	Name	Function
Brocade DCX 8510-4	CP8	The CP8 blade contains the control plane for the chassis. There
control processor		are two CP8 blades for redundancy. This control processor blade
blade		is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8, Brocade DCX 8510-4,
		Brocade DCX, and Brocade DCX-4S.
Brocade DCX 8510-4	CR16-4	The CR16-4 blade contains the ASICs for switching between port
core switch blade		blades. Every port blade connects to each core switch blade.
		There can be up to 192 16 Gbps (256 8 Gbps) total ports for port
		blades. Each core switch blade connects to 128 backplane ports.
		Core switch blades have additional front port connectivity to
		connect multiple chassis and backplane connections for the
		storage server blade. This core switch blade is compatible only
		with the Brocade DCX 8510-4.
