The connections between the adapters installed in the compute nodes to the switch bays in the chassis
are shown diagrammatically in the following figure. The figure shows both half-wide servers, such as the
x240 with two adapters, and full-wide servers, such as the p460 with four adapters.

The EN4093 and EN4093R switches can be installed in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Enterprise chassis. A
supported adapter card must be installed in the corresponding slot of the compute node (slot A1 when
switches are installed in bays 1 and 2 or slot A2 when switches are in bays 3 and 4). With four-port
adapters, an optional Upgrade 1 (90Y3562) is required for the switch to allow communications on all four
ports. With eight-port adapters, both optional Upgrade 1 (90Y3562) and Upgrade 2 (88Y6037) are
required for the switch to allow communications on six adapter ports, and two remaining ports are
reserved for future use.

In compute nodes that have an integrated dual-port 10 GbE network interface controller (NIC), NIC ports
are routed to bays 1 and 2 with a specialized periscope connector, and the adapter card in slot A1 is not
required. However, when needed, the periscope connector can be replaced with the adapter card. In such
a case integrated NIC will be disabled.
