Ethernet Controller Enumeration; Dell Modular Server Chassis I/O Module Locations - Dell PowerConnect 5316M User Manual

Figure 3-6. Dell Modular Server Chassis I/O Module Locations
NOTE:
To maintain proper system cooling, each module bay must contain either a module or end-cap
(blank plug).
The four Chassis I/O module bays are located at the rear panel of the Dell Modular Server Chassis.
Although Ethernet Switch Module can be inserted in every I/O module bay it is important to
understand that not all of the bays are neccessarily intended for the Ethernet Switch Modules. The
usage of the bays is dependent on the system I/O requirements.
In particular, the Chassis I/O Module bays 1 and 2 are specifically intended to house the Ethernet
Switch Modules. The bays 3 and 4 should only be populated with the Ethernet Switch Modules if a
Gigabit Ethernet daughter card is installed on the Server Module(s).
