Ethernet Pass-Thru Blade

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit offers four slots for Ethernet LAN Pass-
Thru-Blades on the back. 

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

Figure 54: Slots for installing pass-thru blades

The installation of two Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-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.

Components 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.

The following configuration examples show the assignment of the Ethernet 
ports of the pass-thru blades to the server blades.
