Nexus 5596UP fixed Port

[lcd_shouldit]

When I read Nexus 5K install guide , I found the follow :

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has the following features: 
 •48 fixed 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch 
AND
The 48 fixed ports support 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. 

Does these is a conflict ?

The 48 fixed port on this switch support only 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet   or  8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel  and 1- or 10-Gigabit simultaneously ？

the 5548UP has "unified ports" meaning that they can be either 1/10G Ethernet / FCoE, or 1/2/4/8 FC ports.

See the following link for more details:

Sorry I just realized you asked about 5596UP, not 5548UP.  But same concept.
