Invisible Body Tag
The ED-48000B represents the next generation of advanced Fibre
Channel directors used to intelligently interconnect storage devices,
hosts, and servers in a Storage Area Network (SAN). The ED-48000B
director is the highest-performance and highest-scalability director
offered by EMC. It satisfies the most demanding Reliability,
Availability, and Serviceability (RAS), performance, and scalability
requirements of a director, while delivering investment protection,
interoperability, and fabric-based intelligence advantages.

Overview
ED-48000B features
Key features of the ED-48000B include the following:
◆Up to 384 ports in a single chassis, providing high port density for
a scalable solution to drive high-port-count SAN configurations.
◆A single logical switch, that encompasses all port blades in the
chassis for ease of maintenance. The IP address for this single
logical switch is shown as SWITCH under the ipaddrShow
command. This director does not support the dual domain
configuration.
◆Support for high-performance port blades running at 1-, 2-, or
4-Gbit/sec, enabling flexible system configuration:
• 16-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (FC4-16)
• 32-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (FC4-32)
• 48-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (PB-48K-48)
• PB-48K-18i blade: Fibre Channel Routing Services and FCIP
using the PB-48K-18i blade. See the PB-480000-18i Hardware
Reference Manual for more information.
◆Dual-redundant control processors provide high availability and
enable nondisruptive software upgrades.
◆Redundant and hot swappable CPs, power supplies, and blower
assembly enable a high availability platform for mission critical
SAN applications.
◆Supports 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbit/sec auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports.
Trunking technology groups up to eight ports to create high
performance 32-Gbit/sec ISL trunks between switches.
◆Universal ports self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports.

Hardware components 17
Overview
Hardware components
The ED-48000B features a modular and scalable mechanical
construction that allows a wide range of flexibility in installation,
fabric design, and maintenance. The ED-48000B consists of the
following:
◆Up to eight hot-swappable port blade assemblies, which can be
configured in a single chassis, delivering up to 384 Fibre Channel
ports
◆Two slots for control processor (CP) blade assemblies (slots 5 and
6):
• A single active CP blade can control all 384 ports in the
chassis.
• The standby CP blade assumes control of the switch if the
active CP fails.
◆Modular hot-swappable field replaceable units (FRUs):
• 16-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (FC4-16)
• 32-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (FC4-32)
• 48-port, 4-Gbit/sec blades (PB-48K-48)
• 18-port, 16 FC + 2 GbE (PB-48K-18i, up to 2 blades per chassis,
supporting Fibre Channel Routing Services and FCIP)
• Two CP blades (CP4)
• Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers
• 3 blower assemblies
• Up to 4 power supplies (four power supplies are required
when using the PB-48K-18i blade in the chassis)
◆Cables, blades, and power supplies are serviced from the port
side of the ED-48000B, and blowers are serviced from the nonport
side
◆Improved cable management using a redesigned cable
management tray and chassis door
◆Three blowers, providing cooling, allowing continuous operation
even if one blower fails
◆Constant intake and FRU temperature monitoring

18 EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual
Overview
◆World Wide Name (WWN) card on the nonport side, to maintain
chassis-specific information such as WWNs, IP addresses, and
summary status information of each port blade assembly and
power supply through LEDs
◆Redundant AC primary power connections to allow two primary
power connections for higher availability
◆Supports up to eight of the following port blades:
• 16-port 2-Gbit/sec port blade (FC2-16)
• 16-port 4-Gbit/sec port blade (FC4-16)
• 32-port 4-Gbit/sec port blade (FC4-32)
• 48-port 4-Gbit/sec port blade (PB-48K-48)
• 18-port, 16 FC + 2 GbE (PB-48K-18i, up to two blades per
