Mapping the Switchbays
After installation of the Windows operating system on a blade you can fill-in 
the  switchbay mapping table for your particular configuration using the fol-
lowing procedure.
Note: Do not perform PCI-to-Switchbay mappings when blades 
within the chassis are operating within a production 
environment.
1.
On one of the CoServer blades right-click My Network Places to view 
the Network Connections dialog.
2.
From the back of the BladeCenter cabinet select a switchbay and unplug 
it. 
3.
Return to the CoServer console and observe the Network Connections
dialog and note which connection experiences a status change.
4.
Right-click on the connection that changed status to display the Local 
Area Connection Properties.
5.
Click the Configure button to display the controller properties. Note the 
switchbay number of the switch you unpluged and record the corre-
sponding PCI location information for that adapter in Table 4.  Plug the 
switchbay back into its slot and wait for the connection status to return to 
normal.
6.
Repeat this procedure for each  configured ethernet switchbay until you 
have identified all connections. Since these connections will hold for like 
blade models this mapping will work for all other configured blades.
