Figure 6. Logical layout of the inter-connections between four-port I/O adapters and I/O modules
The following table shows the connections between adapter slots in the compute nodes to the switch bays
in the chassis.
Notes:
To make use of all four ports of a four-port adapter across all blade servers, the switch must have
28 internal ports enabled, and two switches must be installed in the bays as indicated.
To make use of six ports of a eight-port adapter across all blade servers, the switch must have 42
internal ports enabled, and two switches must be installed in the bays as indicated. Ports 7 and 8
of an eight-port adapter are reserved for future use. The chassis supports all eight ports, but there
are no switches that are available that connect to these ports.
