Port assignment
Each of the 18 server blades of a BX900 S1 system unit can be equipped with
2 FC mezzanine cards each with 2 ports (0, 1). Each of the server blade FC
ports is connected to a dedicated port of an FC pass thru connection blade in a
defined connection blade slot. The table below shows the port assignment of
mezzanine card ports and connection blade slots.
The FC pass thru port numbers are related to the server blade slot numbers.
Example
The server blade in slot 7 has 2 FC mezzanine cards installed. Connection
blade slots 3, 4, 5 and 6 are fitted with FC pass thru connection blades.
Port 0 of mezzanine card 1 is connected to port 7 of FC pass thru connection
blade in slot 3.
Port 1 of mezzanine card 1 is connected to port 7 of FC pass thru connection
blade in slot 4.
Port 0 of mezzanine card 2 is connected to port 7 of FC pass thru connection
blade in slot 5.
