• Modular, hot-swappable encryption blades:
- FS8-18: 16-port, up to 4 blades per chassis, supporting in-flight data cryptographic
(encryption/decryption) and data-compression capabilities.
• Modular, hot-swappable field-replaceable units (FRUs):
- Two blower assemblies.
- Two power supplies (100-240 VAC auto-sensing).
 At 110 VAC (nominal): A minimum of two power supplies is required, regardless of the
number of port or application blades. This configuration does not support high
availability.
 220 VAC (nominal) is recommended for efficiency. A second power supply is required
to support high availability.
 Redundant AC primary power connections ensure high availability. Each power supply
has its own connector, so the number of primary power connections is two for
optimum efficiency and redundancy.
- Two WWN cards.
- Blades use small form-factor pluggable (SFP+ and mSFP) optical transceivers. SFP+ and
mSFP transceivers support speeds of 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gbps.
NOTE
The 8-Gbps SFP+s and mSFPs auto-negotiate at 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The 16-Gbps SFP+s
auto-negotiate at 4, 8, and 16 Gbps. The 10 Gbps speeds must be manually set and
require special 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
- QSFP-based inter-chassis link (ICL) cabling running at 64 Gbps (four 16 Gbps clustered in
a single quad connector and cable).
• Blades that are serviced from the port side of the Brocade DCX 8510-4. Blowers, power
supplies, and power cables that are serviced from the nonport side.
• World Wide Name (WWN) cards on the nonport side, with WWN status LEDs located under the
bezel.
• Two vertical cable management finger assemblies and a redesigned chassis door for improved
cable management.
