1
The FC8-64 blade does not support FICON, and is not supported in the same logical switch as FICON. However, it is supported
in the same physical director. It is only supported in a DC SAN Backbone FICON Director running FOS 7.0.0c or later. This blade
uses mSFP short wave optics only. For more information about this blade and its cabling, see the HP SAN Design Reference Guide.
2
The FC16-32 and FC16-48 blades support 10 Gb/s SFPs for ISLs only. Both sides of the ISL must connect to a 10 Gb/s SFP on a
16 Gb/s blade.
3
The FC16-32 and FC16-48 blades support 16 Gb/s speeds for FICON ISLs only as there are currently no FICON devices that
support 16 Gb/s speeds.
4
The FC16-48 blade is only supported for FICON in the SN8000B 8-slot Director within a logical switch.
5
The FC4-48 and FC4-16IP blades do not support FICON. Do not install these blades in slot 10 of any 4/256 FICON director.
