4500 SUP-7LE mixing 10G and 1G

question on 4500 SUP-7LE, this documentation is not 100% clear:

When in single sup mode, can I have the following combinations?

1 SFP+ and 1 SFP << pretty sure this is supported

1 SFP+ and 2 SFP << think it's supported

1 SFP+ and 3 SFP << doubtful

2 SFP+ and 2 SFP << think it's supported

3 SFP+ and 1 SFP << doubtful

Thanks!

As I read the data sheet, you can support any combination of SFP+ and SFP. It says "4 nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks" and "SFP support on uplinks to offer flexibility for up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports"

Scratch that I was looking at the SUP-7E not he SUP-7LE. The data sheet for the 7LE says "2 nonblocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (SFP+) or 4 nonblocking 1 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks" implying that in the 7LE 10 gig or 1 gig usage is an either/or proposition. You Can use two 10G ports and no 1G ports, or you can use four 1G ports and no 10G ports.
