Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade 

The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade is an alternative to the switch blade. It 
provides direct (“pass-thru”) connections to the LAN for the onboard LAN 
controllers and the optional Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules of the server 
blades. The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade has ten RJ45 connectors.

Fibre Channel pass-thru blade

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit can have one or two Fibre Channel 
pass-thru blades to provide Fibre Channel functionality for the installed 
server blades. A Fibre Channel (FC) pass-thru blade offers 10 ports for 
bypass connections between FC daughter cards installed in the server 
blades and the optical transceivers for serial FC I/O and general I/O signals.

 scope of supply and services is available as an

redundant management blades with an integrated management solution for
