This blade does not support FICON. Do not install this blade in any physical director that supports FICON.
2
The FC4-48 and FC8-48 blades support FICON in DC SAN Backbone Directors only if the Virtual Fabric feature is
enabled, regardless of whether the blade is used for FICON connectivity. The Virtual Fabric requirement does not apply
to the DC04 SAN Director.
3
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.
4
The FC16-48 blade is only supported for FICON in the SN8000B 8-slot Director within a logical switch.
