Slots NET3 and NET4 on the back of the basic unit can be fitted with Fibre 
Channel I/O blades. The Fibre Channel I/O blade in the NET3 slot is connected 
to port A of the installed Fibre Channel daughter cards. The Fibre Channel I/O 
blade in the NET4 slot is connected to port B of the installed Fibre Channel 
daughter cards.
Figure 57: Slots for Fibre Channel I/O blades
The installation of two FC switch blades enables redundant Fibre Channel con-
nections to be provided for the server blades.

CAUTION!
FC switch blades must always be installed in slot NET3 first. This 
ensures that port A of the FC daughter cards is connected if 
redundant Fibre Channel connections are not used.
If Gigabit Ethernet daughter cards are installed in the server blades, 
LAN switch blades (see 
) or Ethernet pass-thru blades (see 
) must be installed in slots NET3 and NET4.
Simultaneous operation of Ethernet blades and Fibre Channel blades 
in slots NET3 and NET4 is not permitted.
