Mapping to interconnect ports

Several port types are referenced in the following tables.

•Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules and Fibre Channel interconnect modules.

•An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)

•Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect modules.

•Gen8 servers have FlexibleLOM adapters that have the same port mapping as the previous generation server blade Embedded NICs.

NOTE: 1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with single-wide interconnect modules. 4x port mezzanine cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.

The term "1x/2x" refers to the number of interconnect lanes per port provided by the controller. The more lanes provided per port, the higher the data transmission rate coming from that port.
