Installing and removing an adapter
This chapter provides information about and instructions for installing an adapter in a blade server
or storage-expansion unit, and removing an adapter from a blade server or storage-expansion unit.
In this document, the descriptions and illustrations of the adapter installation and removal
procedures pertain to installing the adapter on a blade server system board and removing the
adapter from a blade server system board. The procedures for installing the adapter in a
storage-expansion unit and removing the adapter from a storage-expansion unit are similar to the
procedures for installing the adapter on a blade server system board and removing the adapter
from a blade server system board. Your blade server or storage-expansion unit might be different
from the devices that appear in the illustrations in this document. For additional information, see
the documentation that comes with your blade server or storage-expansion unit.
To support each I/O module that you install in the BladeCenter unit, you must also install a
compatible adapter, such as an Ethernet or Fibre Channel expansion card, in each blade server
that you want to communicate with the I/O module. The Brocade 2-Port 10Gb Converged Network
adapter for IBM BladeCenter is compatible with various types of I/O modules, including the
following devices:
•
IBM10Gb Intelligent Pass-thru Module for IBM BladeCenter
•
IBM 10Gb Ethernet Switch Blade for IBM BladeCenter
NOTE
For detailed information about I/O modules, see the Installation and User’s Guide and other
documents that come with compatible I/O modules.
The maximum number of adapters that you can install in the BladeCenter unit varies according to
the type of BladeCenter unit that you are using, because each type of BladeCenter unit supports a
different number of blade servers. You can install one adapter per blade server.
Notes:
•
The Brocade 2-Port 10Gb Converged Network Adapter can only be used in blades that allow
one CFFh and one CFFv/CIOv option card.
•
For the locations of the BladeCenter unit I/O-module bays, see Chapter 1, “Introduction” .
•
The blade servers or BladeCenter units that are described or shown in this document might be
different from your blade server or BladeCenter unit. For additional information, see the
documentation that comes with your blade server or BladeCenter unit.
•
Contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller for information about the
types of compatible BladeCenter units, blade servers, I/O modules, and optional devices for
the I/O modules, BladeCenter units, and blade servers.
See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of supported
BladeCenter units, blade servers, I/O modules, and optional devices for the I/O modules,
BladeCenter units, and blade servers.
For details about installation, configuration, and use of compatible devices, see the
documentation that comes with these devices.
