MXG610s Dell EMC Networking 32G Fibre Channel IO Module

Product

Description

Total Fibre Channel Ports

• Up to 16 internal server facing and up to 16 external fabric facing ports (8-port increments through dynamic Ports on Demand (POD) license.

• The 16 internal server facing ports operate at either 16 Gbps or 32 Gbps speed depending on the minimezzanine adapter, and do not require any optical transceivers.

• The 16 external fabric facing ports are available in two different port types:

  • 8 external SFP+ ports operate at 8Gbps, 16Gbps, or 32Gbps speed

  • 2 external QSFP+ ports offer 4 ports each operate at 16Gbps or 32Gbps speed
