VCAUTION

FC pass-thru blades must always be installed in slot NET3 first. This ensures that port A of the FC daughter cards is connected if redundant fibre channel connections are not used.

If Gigabit Ethernet daughter cards are installed in the server blades, LAN switch blades (see page 81) or Ethernet pass-thru blades (see page 99) must be installed in slots NET3 and NET4.

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