Fibre Channel I/O Blades
Port Assignment
Configuration with Five 4-way Server Blades
Because a 4-way server blade occupies two slots in the blade server chassis,
there are four connections for four Fibre Channel ports available for a 4-way
server blade. To use these connections, two FC daughter boards must be
installed on the 4-way server blade (see manual for the relevant server blade
type).
The following figure illustrates the assignment of the FC pass-thru blades to the
Fibre Channel ports of the server blades in a configuration with five 4-way
server blades when two FC pass-thru blades and, in each 4-way server blade,
two FC daughter boards are installed in the back of the server.
