Interconnects
Each server blade enclosure requires a pair of interconnects to provide network
access for data transfer or remote management. The leftmost and rightmost bays of
each server blade enclosure are interconnect bays for these devices.
IMPORTANT:
Interconnect options vary. A server blade enclosure requires a pair of
interconnects of the same type. Do not mix two types of interconnects in the same enclosure.
(Figures 3-10 through 3-12 show the RJ-45 patch panel.) Refer to the documentation that
ships with the interconnect option you have selected.
First install the appropriate connectors at the rear of the rack, then move to the front
of the rack to install the interconnect.
To install the interconnect modules (rear of rack):
1.
Remove the protective covers on the end of each interconnect module.
2.
Install the appropriate interconnect modules into the enclosure at the back of the
rack.
