CR32-4 Core Routing Blade for the Brocade X6-4 Director is a hot-pluggable core-routing module that occupies blade slots 5 or 6 in the X6-4 chassis. It delivers eight 4x32-Gbps QSFP ports (each QSFP port carries four 32-Gbps lanes) to enable high-speed fabric and inter-blade connectivity within the director. The blade is compatible only with the Brocade X6-4 Director and supports Fabric OS 8.0.1. Power draw is specified as idle around 95 W, typical 160 W, and maximum 244 W, reflecting its processing and interconnect requirements.
