The new 48 port 10/100/1000 module will require a new SUP720 or sup-3 as some are calling it.. It may also require a SFM module. The sup 3 will require a new fan tray and I believe power supplies...
The info is a little sketchy at this time, but that is what we have heard..thats a lot of upgrading for 48 gig ports..and most servers cant really fill a 100FD pipe anyway...
