Blade server expansion options
Some blade servers contain connectors for options that add capabilities to the blade
server. You can add these options before installing the blade server in the
BladeCenter T unit.
Go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/ for a list of available options for your
IBM blade server.
I/O expansion option
Some blade servers have connectors for adding an I/O expansion option, such as
an IBM BladeCenter Fibre Channel Expansion Card. The BladeCenter T unit routes
network communication signals from the I/O expansion option to I/O modules 3
and 4 on the BladeCenter T unit. The I/O expansion option is attached directly to
the blade server and does not occupy an additional blade bay.
Note:
If an I/O expansion option is installed on any blade server, I/O modules
that are compatible with that network interface must be installed in I/O-module
bays 3 and 4 on the BladeCenter T unit. See “Removing and installing I/O
modules” on page 56 for more information.
Expansion unit option
You can install an optional BladeCenter SCSI Storage Expansion Unit or Peripheral
Card Interface (PCI) I/O Expansion Unit on your blade server.
Storage Expansion Unit option:
Some blade servers have a connector for adding an expansion unit, such as an IBM
BladeCenter SCSI Storage Expansion Unit. The storage expansion unit supports up
to two hot-swap SCSI hard-disk drives. The expansion option is attached directly
to the blade server and occupies an additional blade server bay.
PCI I/O-expansion Unit option:
Some blade servers have a connector for adding an expansion unit, such as an IBM
BladeCenter PCI I/O Expansion Unit. The PCI I/O-expansion unit supports up to
two PCI-X adapters. The expansion unit is attached directly to the blade server and
occupies an additional blade server bay.
