6 Intel® Blade Server Fibre Channel Expansion Card SBEFCM4, 4 Gbps: Installation and User’s Guide
Ensure that an I/O module that supports fibre channel operation is installed in I/O-module bay 3,
I/O-module bay 4, or both I/O-module bays 3 and 4 in the SBCE unit. If your SBCE component
supports the installation of one or more I/O expansion cards, you must install at least one I/O module
that supports fibre channel operation in the SBCE unit. Installing a second identical I/O module that
supports fibre channel operation in the SBCE unit provides a backup I/O module in case one I/O
module fails. If I/O modules are installed in both I/O-module bays 3 and 4, both I/O modules must
be of the same type.
See the following documentation for additional information:
•The Installation and User’s Guide for your blade server provides server specific I/O expansion
card installation instructions.
•The Installation Guide for your SBCE unit shows I/O module bay locations.
•The Installation Guide for your I/O module has installation requirements and configuration
instructions for the I/O module.
Configuring a command session
After installing the fibre channel expansion card, turn on the blade server and use the following list
to determine how to set up a command session:
• The blade server supports local console connection through the management module switch
control of the keyboard / mouse / video (KVM) to the blade server. See the Installation and
User’s Guide for your blade server for instructions.
• The blade server does not support local console connection. See the Installation and User’s
Guide for your blade server for instructions about how to set up a command session with the
blade server.
