Memory specifications
The Brocade 6505 has three primary types of memory devices: boot flash, compact flash, and main
memory. The size of these devices are listed in the following table.
Brocade 6505 memory specifications TABLE 11
Memory type Amount
Boot flash 4 MB (expandable to 8 MB)
Compact flash 1 GB
Main memory (SODIMM DDR2) 1 GB, 64-bit bus operating at 166 MHz with 8-bit ECC
Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the Brocade 6505 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP+
transceivers (for 16-Gbps performance). The strength of the signal is determined by the type of
transceiver in use.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see
Regulatory compliance on page 53.
The ports are capable of operating at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps depending on SFP+ transceiver models and
are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed.
