Figure 6 illustrates the mapping of FC connectivity options for the c3000 enclosure. Figure 6 illustrates
the maximum FC connection capability of the c3000 enclosure. In practice, server blades can support
a mix of mezzanine cards of different interface types (FC, Ethernet, or InfiniBand) simultaneously
within the enclosure. Having two or more FC HBA mezzanine cards on each server blade offers
redundancy and enhanced throughput.
