NOTE: The Server Switch Modules do not connect to each other within the BladeCenter chassis. To connect the modules to enable features such as subnet manager failover, connect the modules with an IB cable via the external connectors. Before you connect the two Server Switch Modules in your chassis, configure the priority of the subnet managers on the modules. For step by step instructions, refer to “Connect Beyond BladeCenter” on page 8.
