Important: In a BladeCenter unit that supports four I/O modules, the I/O
modules in I/O-module bays 3 and 4 on the BladeCenter unit must both be of
the same type and must both support the I/O expansion card
network-interface type. For example, if you add an Ethernet expansion card to
a blade server, the modules in I/O-module bays 3 and 4 on the BladeCenter
unit must both be the same and of a type compatible with the Ethernet
expansion card. All other I/O expansion cards installed on other blade servers
in the BladeCenter unit must also be compatible with these I/O modules. In
this example, you could then install two Ethernet-switch modules or two
copper pass-thru modules. Copper pass-thru modules are compatible with
Ethernet expansion cards.
For additional information, see the Installation and User’s Guide for your
BladeCenter unit on the IBM BladeCenter unit Documentation CD.
