Brocade 200E Switch - Fibre Channel
- by Arthor
What I have:
Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY BX600
Brocade 200E (16 port, 4gbit fibre).
My question:
Imagine a QNAP with a fiber 10GBIT card connected to the Brocade 200E (16 port, 4gbit fibre). Would this work; would the card drop down to 4GBIT?
Are 10GBIT fiber cards backwards completable.
Update. I have the specs of my server now....
Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY BX600 S3 Blade Ecosystem Blade Chassis comprising;
2 x A3C40073243 Blade Management modules

1 x A3C40083767 Digital KVM Modules
