Port Assignment

10.2 Port Assignment
Connections to the two fabric ports of the optional fibre channel daughter card
are provided for each of the ten server blade slots. In the case of 4-way server
blades, connections for a total of four fabric ports are therefore available.
The FC switch blade in the NET3 slot is connected to port A of the installed fibre
channel daughter cards. The FC switch blade in the NET4 slot is connected to
port B of the installed fibre channel daughter cards.

Figure 60: Slots for FC switch blades
The installation of two FC switch blades enables redundant fibre channel
connections to be provided for the server blades.

CAUTION
FC switch blades must always be installed in slot NET3 first. This
ensures that port A of the FC daughter cards is connected if
redundant fibre channel connections are not used.
If Gigabit Ethernet daughter cards are installed in the server blades,
LAN switch blades (see
page 99) must be installed in slots NET3 and NET4.
Simultaneous operation of Ethernet blades and fibre channel blades
in slots NET3 and NET4 is not permitted.
The configuration examples below show the assignment of the FC daughter
card ports to the LAN switch blades in slots NET3 and NET4.
