Power supply requirements for Director blades
Table 4
lists power supply requirements for Director blades to provide full redundancy (220 VAC
power is assumed).
IMPORTANT:
Director blades must meet minimum Fabric OS levels to operate in the Director chassis. For example,
the FC8-32 is not supported in the 4/256 SAN Director with Fabric OS 6.0.x.
