a blade enclosure.

Locating and Identifying a Switch on a Blade Enclosure

When you are looking at the rear of the blade enclosure, you can identify the switch
associating with a CMM designation by using the information in

Table 3-2. Locating and Identifying a Switch in 820C Enclosure

Locating and Identifying a Switch Port on a Blade Enclosure

In general, a switch that is designated on the CMM as "Switch A1", has its ports
electrically routed to the first network interfaces of the blade servers, while the switch
designed as "Switch A2" has its ports electrically routed to the second network
interfaces of the blade servers. However, pass-through Ethernet modules have a
one-to-one relationship between their internal and external ports.
Managed switches have internal ports that are associated with the blade server slots
and network interfaces (NIC).
NOTE: Not all switches shown are supported on all blade enclosures. Please check the
SuperBlade matrix for the supported models.
