Hi:
We are currently running FOS 6.2.2.E firmware on IBM BladeCenter 4GB module and looking for a newest version. Since 6.2.2.E is the latest for 6.2.x form a 4GB switch module, Just wondering FOS 6.3.x or higher is an alternative. I believe 6.3.x does not support 4GB module according to IBM Tech support.

6.3.x is not supported on the 4G embedded switches as well on 200E.
But you can run it on the 4100 / 4900 and 48000 4G platforms.
