FAQs

Q: What optics are included?
A: 16G Fibre Channel short‑wave SFP+ modules (850 nm, LC) are included.

Q: Can I mix 8G and 16G devices on the same switch?
A: Yes. Ports are autosensing and interoperate at 2/4/8/16 Gbps as supported by the optics and peer device.

Q: How do I increase from 48 to 96 ports?
A: Enable additional ports via Ports On-Demand licenses in 12-port increments.

Q: Does it support front-to-back airflow?
A: Yes. This configuration provides port-side exhaust (front-to-back) airflow.

Q: Is 32G FC supported?
A: No. The platform supports up to 16G Fibre Channel.
