5 Virtual-IO Manager user interface

Depending on the selected profile and server type, there are a number of
boxes, each representing a slot for a mezzanine or PCI card. If you want to
configure a mezzanine or PCI card with this server profile, you must click the

Add

button in the corresponding slot to add a card. For each card you must

specify its type:

LAN

LAN card. This card can have up to four ports.

FC

Fibre Channel card. This card can have up to two ports.

CNA

CNA card. This card can have up to two ports.

With

IO Channels

you specify the number of ports for the card to be sup-

ported with this server profile.

If you do not use an already configured mezzanine card, you can remove it
with the

Delete

button.

With the arrow buttons on the right you can change the position of a mez-
zanine/PCI card. To do this, you must select a mezzanine/PCI card by click-
ing in its box (a blue border indicates that it is selected). You can use the up
and down arrows to move the selected card by one position. If there is alrea-
dy a card in the target position, the cards swap their places. Any con-
figuration for the mezzanine/PCI cards (e.g. boot configuration or virtual
addresses) is retained.
