FAQs

Q: How many ports are active by default and how do I expand?
A: 48 ports are active out of the box. Additional ports can be enabled in 12-port increments using Ports On-Demand licenses, up to 96 total.

Q: Does this bundle include transceivers?
A: Yes. It includes 8G Fibre Channel short‑wave SFP+ optics (850 nm, LC).

Q: What airflow direction does this model use?
A: Port-side exhaust (front-to-back) airflow.

Q: Is 32G Fibre Channel supported?
A: No. The platform supports 2/4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel with line-rate forwarding.

Q: Can it interoperate with 4G or 8G endpoints?
A: Yes. Ports are autosensing and negotiate 2/4/8/16 Gbps as supported by the optics and peer device.
