Fibre Channel Pass-Thru Blade
The 2/2 Gbit Fibre Channel pass-thru blade, hereinafter referred to as FC pass-
thru blade, provides 10 ports for the bypass connection between FC daughter
boards (see manual for the relevant server blade type) and optical transceivers
for serial FC I/O and general-purpose I/O signals. The FC pass-thru blade
features 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel speed. It also provides LEDs for each FC port
to indicate the link status.

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit can be fitted with one or two FC pass-thru
blades. The slots for these blades are on the back of the system unit (NET 3 and

for one or more server blades, at least one FC pass-thru blade or FC switch
blade must be installed. The assignment of the Fibre Channel channels is
described in
