Figure 20: Connection blade slots (BX400 S1 system unit)
The table below shows the connections of the connection blade slots to the slots
for mezzanine cards.
I Connection blades within one fabric must have the same technology, i.e.
either Ethernet or Fibre Channel or Infiniband.
As a result, the rules for populating the mezzanine card slots are as follows:
● If a 1 Gb Ethernet mezzanine card is installed in slot 1 of a server blade, at
least one 1 Gb Ethernet connection blade must be installed in CB slot 2 of
the system unit.
● If a 10 Gb Ethernet mezzanine card is installed in slot 1 of a server blade, at
least one 10 Gb Ethernet connection blade must be installed in CB slot 2 of
the system unit.
● If an FC mezzanine card is installed in slot 1, at least one FC connection
blade must be installed in CB slot 2 of the system unit.
