configuring
a
pair
of
switch
modules
in
I/O-module
bays
3
and
4
provides
support
for
the
failover
configured
on
the
I/O
expansion
options.
Note:
A
system
configuration
with
I/O
expansion
options
in
I/O-module
bays
3
and
4
requires
a
unit
configuration
with
power
supplies
in
power-module
bays
3
and
4.
Other
network-interface
I/O
expansion
options,
such
as
the
IBM
BladeCenter
Fibre
Channel
Expansion
Card,
can
have
similar
capability
for
redundant
network
connections.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
I/O
expansion
module
and
I/O
module
for
more
information
about
configuring
for
redundant
network
connections.
v
System-management
capabilities
The
BladeCenter
T
unit
comes
with
a
service
processor
in
the
management
module.
The
service
processor
in
the
management
module,
the
system-management
firmware
that
is
provided
with
your
BladeCenter
T
unit,
and
the
service
processor
in
each
blade
server,
enable
you
to
remotely
manage
the
BladeCenter
T
unit,
its
components,
and
the
blade
servers.
The
management
module
also
multiplexes
the
keyboard,
mouse,
and
video
ports
and
the
USB
port
across
the
multiple
blade
servers.
The
service
processor
in
each
blade
server
provides
blade
server
system
monitoring,
event
recording,
and
alert
capability.

Chapter
5,
“Configuring
the
BladeCenter
T
unit,”
on
page

v
Network
environment
support
This
BladeCenter
T
unit
supports
up
to
two
Ethernet-compatible
I/O
modules
(switch
modules
or
pass-thru
modules),
for
blade
server
integrated
Ethernet
controller
communication
with
the
network.
Each
I/O
module
provides
one
internal
connection
to
each
blade
server,
up
to
eight
internal
connections
per
I/O
module.
The
BladeCenter
T
unit
also
supports
two
additional
I/O
modules,
for
a
total
of
four
I/O
modules.
The
two
additional
I/O
modules
support
the
network
interface
on
the
optional
I/O
expansion
card
installed
on
one
or
more
blade
servers
in
the
BladeCenter
T
unit.
Note:
The
two
additional
I/O
modules
must
be
compatible
with
the
network
interface
on
the
optional
I/O
expansion
cards
in
the
blade
servers.
Each
of
these
two
additional
I/O
modules
provides
one
internal
connection
to
the
optional
I/O
expansion
card,
up
to
eight
internal
