9.2Port Assignment of the Gigabit Ethernet Pass-Thru Blades

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit offers four slots for Ethernet LAN Pass- Thru-Blades on the back.

The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade in slot NET1 is connected to port A of the onboard LAN controller of the installed server blades. The Ethernet LAN Pass- Thru-Blade in slot NET2 is connected to port B of the onboard LAN controller. In the same way, the Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blades in slots NET3 and NET4 are connected to port A and B of the gigabit Ethernet daughter cards.

The installation of two Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blades in NET1 and NET2 (or NET3 and NET4) enables redundant LAN connections to be provided for the relevant LAN controllers of the server blades.

VCAUTION

Components must always be installed in slots NET1 and NET3 first. This ensures that port A of the relevant LAN controller is connected if redundant LAN connections are not used.

To provide fibre channel functionality, FC pass-thru blades (see page 113) or FC switch blades (see page 105) must be installed in slot NET3 and/or slot NET4.

Asynchronous balanced mode of Ethernet blades and fibre channel blades in slots NET3 and NET4 is not permitted.

The following configuration examples show the assignment of the Ethernet ports of the pass-thru blades to the server blades.
