*Note: The expansion card can be installed in servers in the BladeCenter S (8886). However, by doing so,

you lose the ability to connect to the BladeCenter S Disk Storage Modules (DSMs). The Ethernet expansion

card goes in the place of the SAS expansion card that is needed to connect to the DSMs. This might be

appropriate for clients that want to use external iSCSI storage or need more than four Ethernet ports per

blade. If you are simply looking for redundant Ethernet switches or four Ethernet ports per blade, consider

using the 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh), part number 44W4479.

Maximum configuration: Eight Ethernet ports per server

Since BladeCenter servers support a CFFh expansion card plus either a CFFv or CIOv card (depending on

the model of the server), you can install up to eight Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3012 devices in a

BladeCenter H chassis or BladeCenter HT. Figure 4 shows this eight-port solution. All connections between

the cards and the switch modules are internal to the chassis. No cabling is needed.
