Fibre Channel Switch Module

You can install one or two hot-pluggable Fibre Channel switch modules in I/O bay 3 and I/O bay 4, beginning with I/O bay 3. You must also install a Fibre Channel HBA daughter card in the server module. The Fibre Channel switch module includes four external autosensing Fibre Channel ports numbered 10 through 13, 10 internal ports, and one Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. All the external ports operate at 1 Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, or 4 Gb/sec.

See the documentation for your particular Fibre Channel switch module for the functionality and location of the switch module indicators. For general information on installing this module, see "Chassis I/O Module" on page 70.

NOTE: The Fibre Channel switch module includes Short Wave Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers. To ensure proper functionality, use only SFPs provided with this module.

Infiniband Pass-through Module

The Infiniband pass-through module provides a bypass connection between an optional Infiniband Host Channel Adapter (HCA) daughter card in the server module and 4x Infiniband Transceivers for direct connection to an Infiniband switch. The Infiniband pass-through modules are hot-pluggable. To provide redundancy, both I/O bay 3 and I/O bay 4 must have Infiniband pass-through modules installed. In this configuration, the module in I/O bay 3 connects to port 1 on the Infiniband HCA daughter card; the Infiniband pass-through module in I/O bay 4 connects to port 2 on the Infiniband HCA daughter card.

NOTE: The Infiniband pass-through module uses small form factor 4x Infiniband connectors. To ensure proper functionality, use only cables provided with the module.
