The installation of two FC switch blades enables redundant Fibre Channel con-
nections to be provided for the server blades.
V CAUTION!
● FC switch blades must always be installed in slot NET3 first. This
ensures that port A of the FC daughter cards is connected if
redundant Fibre Channel connections are not used.
● If Gigabit Ethernet daughter cards are installed in the server blades,
LAN switch blades (see page 79) or Ethernet pass-thru blades (see
page 90) must be installed in slots NET3 and NET4.
Simultaneous operation of Ethernet blades and Fibre Channel blades
in slots NET3 and NET4 is not permitted.
