The 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through module supports 10 Gb connections and provides a direct connection between the optional internal Ethernet mezzanine card in the blade and an external Ethernet device. The Ethernet pass-through modules are hot-swappable and may be installed in Fabric B or Fabric C.
The 10 Gb Ethernet pass-through I/O module enables you to use optical SFP, SFP+, and direct-attached copper (DCA) SFP+ modules. To operate the I/O module and the SFP+ modules at 10 Gbps, you must use either optical SFP+ short reach (SR), long reach multimode (LRM), or DCA SFP+ modules. This module does not support 1G mezzanine or network daughter cards in blades.
