Dell Modular Server Chassis Architecture
The four chassis I/O module bays are on the rear panel (see Figure 2-1). You can insert switch modules
into the chassis I/O module bays 1 and 2. Use bays 3 and 4 for switch modules only if a Gigabit Ethernet
daughter card is installed on the server modules.
Figure 2-1 Dell Modular Server Chassis
Consider these prerequisites before installing your switch module:
• Bay 1 and bay 2 are a pair. Bay 1 must be populated before bay 2. If bay 2 is used, the I/O module
in bay 2 must be the same type as the one in bay 1.
• Bay 3 and bay 4 are a pair. Bay 3 must be populated before bay 4. If bay 4 is used, the I/O module
in bay 4 must be the same type as the one in bay 3.
