Description Name Function
Brocade DCX 8510-4
core switch blade CR16-4 The CR16-4 blade contains the ASICs for switching between port 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.

speeds. This port blade is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and
Brocade DCX 8510-4. This blade requires Fabric OS v7.0.1 or later to run in this
chassis.
48-port 8-Gbps port
blade FC8-48E A 48-port Brocade port blade supporting 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre Channel port
speeds. This port blade is compatible with the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and
Brocade DCX 8510-4. This blade requires Fabric OS v7.0.1 or later to run in this
chassis.
64-port 8-Gbps port

and compression/decompression. This port blade is compatible with the Brocade
DCX 8510-8 and Brocade DCX 8510-4 and requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later to
run in this chassis.
64-port 16-Gbps port
blade FC16-64 A 64-port Brocade port blade supporting 4, 8, and 16 Gbps Fibre Channel port
speeds. The blade also supports port-based in-flight encryption/decryption and
compression/decompression. This port blade is compatible with the Brocade
DCX 8510-8 and Brocade DCX 8510-4 and requires Fabric OS v7.3.0 or later to
