2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter

7

BladeCenter S compatibility

When attached to a blade server that is installed in a BladeCenter S chassis, only two ports are used and 

both of these two ports are routed to bay 2. A supported Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module will need to be 
installed in bay 2 of the BladeCenter S chassis.

Table 6 lists the Ethernet Switch Modules and Pass-thru Modules that are supported in bay 2 of the 

BladeCenter S chassis to be used in conjunction with the 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh).
