2 Installing and Removing the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E

The following illustration shows the I/O module bay locations in the SBCE platform.

Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, each I/O module bay must contain either a module or a filler module; each blade bay must contain either a blade or a filler blade.

Ethernet interface requirements

The SBCE platform supports a minimum of one hot-swap Ethernet switch module in I/O module bay 1. This switch module is a fully functional four-connector Ethernet switch that provides a network connection to Ethernet Link 1 in all the blade servers in the SBCE. To provide a network connection for Ethernet Link 2 in each blade server, install an Ethernet switch module in I/O module bay 2.

If you install an interface option on any blade server, you must install a hot-swap switch module of the same interface type in I/O module bay 3 to obtain connection 1 for the interface option. To provide connection 2 for the interface option, install a switch module of that interface type in I/O module bay 4. The switch modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 provide connections to all the interface options in the SBCE.

Important: The switch modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 and all blade server interface options in

the SBCE must use the same interface type. For example: if you install an Ethernet interface option on a blade server, the switch modules that you install in I/O module bays 3 and 4 must be Ethernet. All other interface options in the SBCE must also be Ethernet interface options.

The following table summarizes the application for each switch module.
