4.
Connect all cables to the module.
Results
The placement of the I/O module in the BladeCenter S chassis depends on the
type of I/O module being installed. For example, an Ethernet switch module is
typically deployed in I/O module bay 1 or I/O module bay 2. SAS connectivity
modules or SAS RAID controller modules are deployed in I/O module bays 3 and
4.
Note:
v
If you install an Ethernet switch module in I/O module bay 2, you must also
install an expansion card option, such as the 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card,
in each of the blade servers that will access the Ethernet network through that
I/O module.
