to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese
market.)
Server performance
The system unit has 8 slots for server blades. Four server blade slots can be
fitted with single-slot storage blades (or two slots with double-slot storage
blades) which provide additional storage capacity for the neighboring server
blades. For information on installing and removing server blades and storage
blades, see section
"Server blades and storage blades" on page 86
. For further
information on the server blades and storage blades, see the relevant operating
manuals.
Connection blades
The PRIMERGY BX400 S1 system unit has four slots for connection blades on
the back. These provide the installed server blades with connections to the
Ethernet LAN as well as to SAN environments and Infiniband environments.
The following connection blades are availabe for the BX400 S1 system unit:
Ethernet connection blades
Connection Blade GbE Switch/IBP 36/12 (SB11A)
36 internal 1-Gbit/s ports to the server blades
8 external 1-Gbit/s ports through RJ45 connections
4 external 1-Gbit/s ports through SFP modules
Installable in all connection blade slots
I
This connection can be used as a layer-2 switch or an Intelligent
Blade Panel (IBP).
1 Gb Ethernet connection blades in slots CB2 (fabric 2) and
CB3/4 (fabric 3) only support server blades that are fitted with
an 1 Gb Ethernet mezzanine card.
