March 2013 Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide v14.1 1-19
• 10G KR is the only supported IOM
• Switches: Force10 MXL, PowerConnect M8024-k, M8428-k
• Pass-through: 10Gb-K pass-thru modules only with external switches
The following are basic networking recommendations for implementing the PS-M4110 Storage Blade.
• IOMs must be Interconnected
• Datacenter in a Box: IOMs directly interconnected
• External Switches can be used to provide interconnection if rack mounted arrays are needed.
• Must use “Single Fabric” I/O module Placement; Supported Fabrics are “A” and “B” only
• Fabric A not supported on older M1000e systems (Mid-plane v1.0); Mid-plane upgrade kit available
• Fabric B supported on all M1000e system
• It is recommended that PS-M4110 be placed into their own pool
