Notes:
•
Any I/O modules that are installed in bay 8 and bay 10 of a Multi-Switch Interconnect Module
for IBM BladeCenter (MSIM) must support Fibre Channel operation.
•
Any I/O modules that are installed in bay 7 and bay 9 of an MSIM must support Ethernet
operation: If you install the adapter into a IBM BladeCenter Storage Expansion Unit 3, the two
1GB Ethernet ports are not functional. Only the 8GB Fibre Channel ports are supported in this
expansion unit.
•
If your blade server supports concurrent Keyboard/Video/Mouse (cKVM) or modular flash
drive optional devices, you can install these optional devices in the same blade server as the
Brocade 2-Port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter for IBM BladeCenter. However, if the
adapter has already been installed in the blade server and you plan to install the IBM
