The Cisco Catalyst Switch Modules 3110G and 3110X support the expansion cards listed in Table 5.
Table 5 also lists the chassis bays in which the switch module must be installed when used with each
expansion card.
The Cisco Catalyst Switch Modules 3110G and 3110X fit in a standard I/O bay (bays 1-4) and, with the
addition of the Multi-Switch Interconnect Module (MSIM) in the BladeCenter H, can also fit in a high-speed
I/O bay (bays 7-10). These switch modules are not supported with MSIM-HT in high-speed bays of the
BladeCenter HT chassis.
