DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the SerDes tuning mode for the Brocade FC8-16 port blade and to display the
configuration.
Enabling SerDes tuning mode is indicated under the following conditions:
You have a Brocade FC8-16 blade installed in slot 2 or in slot 7 (or in both slots) in a DCX-4S
chassis with a CR4S-8 core blade.

SerDes tuning mode changes take effect immediately and are saved persistently.
