Fibre Channel ports

24 ports universal ports (E_Port, F_Port, and N_Port) available in all three models:

24-port Enterprise Performance Pack Edition (includes eight pre-installed 8Gb SFP+ transceivers) plus Enterprise software licenses for Adaptive Networking, ISL Trunking, Fabric Watch, and Advanced Performance Monitoring

24-port model (includes four pre-installed 8Gb SFP+ transceivers)

12-port model (includes two pre-installed 8Gb SFP+ transceivers) – upgradeable to 24-port model through optional 12-port upgrade license kit

Easy integration of Fibre Channel technology into new or existing SAN environments using the PowerEdge M1000e blade enclosure, Brocade M5424 and Dell/EMC storage.

Interoperability

Brocade 2XXX, 3XXX, 4XXX, 5XXX and Director family switches. AG Mode supports Brocade, McData and Cisco fabrics

ISL Trunking

Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking allows all eight external SAN ports to be combined to form a single, logical ISL with an aggregate bandwidth of 64Gb delivering scalable I/O bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
