Overview

This product is a GbE Pass-Thru Blade which connects a server blade internal LAN port (including
Ethernet I/O Module) and an external LAN port on a one to one basis.
This product is installed to the network blade slot on the rear of chassis and connects the external
LAN and the server blade. This product has a 10 port SERDES interface (1Gbps fix) for connecting
the server blade, and a 10 port 1000BASE-T Ethernet interface for connecting external LAN.
A maximum of four of GbE Pass-Thru Blades can be added to a chassis.
The following chart shows an example when ten BX620 S2 Server Blades (taking slot no. 1 to 10) are
installed in the chassis.
In the following example, every server blade has an installed Ethernet I/O Module to explain the
LAN connection between each LAN port and network blade. However, it is not necessary to install
the module in every server blade.
