I
The 10 Gbit switch blade 10/2 only supports server blades,
each equipped with a 10 GbE daughter card.
All switch blades are hot-swappable. By installing two switch blades,
redundant LAN connections can be provided for the server blades.
Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade
The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade is an alternative to the switch blade. It
provides direct ("pass-thru") connections to the LAN for the onboard LAN
controllers and the optional Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules of the server
blades. The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade has ten RJ45 connectors.
Fibre Channel pass-thru blade
The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit can have one or two Fibre Channel
pass-thru blades to provide Fibre Channel functionality for the installed
server blades. A Fibre Channel (FC) pass-thru blade offers 10 ports for
bypass connections between FC daughter cards installed in the server
blades and the optical transceivers for serial FC I/O and general I/O signals.
Fibre Channel switch blade
The FC switch blade is an alternative to the FC pass-thru blade. An FC
switch blade provides the FC daughter cards of the server blades with up to
ten internal fabric ports and up to four external fabric ports. The complete
Brocade Fabric OS 5.0.4 scope of supply and services is available as an
operating system for the FC switch blade.
Management blade
The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit accommodates two hot-swappable,
redundant management blades with an integrated management solution for
complete remote administration of the system.
