For each of the ten server blade slots, connections are available to the two ports 
of the onboard LAN controllers and to the two ports of the optional gigabit 
Ethernet daughter card. In the case of 4-way server blades, connections for a 
total of eight LAN ports are therefore available.

The LAN switch blade in the NET1 slot is connected to port A of the onboard 
LAN controller of the installed server blades. The switch blade in slot NET2 is 
connected to port B of the onboard LAN controller. In the same way, the LAN 
switch blades in slots NET3 and NET4 are connected to port A and B of the 
gigabit Ethernet daughter cards.

Figure 44: Slots for the switch blades

The installation of two LAN switch blades in NET1 and NET2 (or NET3 and 
NET4) enables redundant LAN connections to be provided for the relevant LAN 
controllers of the server blades.

●

LAN switch blades must always be installed in slots NET1 and NET3 
first. This ensures that port A of the relevant LAN controller is 
connected if redundant LAN connections are not used.

●

To provide fibre channel functionality, FC pass-thru blades (see 

) or FC switch blades (see 

) must be installed in 

slot NET3 and/or slot NET4.

Asynchronous balanced mode of Ethernet blades and fibre channel 
blades in slots NET3 and NET4 is not permitted.
