Table 6 shows the connections between dual-port and 4-port FC adapters installed in the compute nodes
other than x222 to the switch bays in the chassis with IBM Flex System FC5022 16 Gb SAN Scalable
Switches.

With the x222, each node bay consumes four ports on the switch, therefore, additional port licenses might
be needed depending on your configuration (see Table 1 for FoD port upgrades).
