FUJITSU ServerView Virtual-IO Manager V3.1 - Manual (Page 119)

4.3.1 Supported hardware configurations for the connection
blades
The following connection blades are supported in a BX900:
l
The connection blades PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2, PY CB Eth
Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12, PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6, and PY CB
Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 as LAN connection blades. LAN connection
blades can be inserted in connection bays 1 and 2 of fabric 1 in order to
connect the onboard LAN ports and in connection bays 3 and 4 of fabric
2 in order to connect the LAN ports of the first mezzanine card. Irre-
spective of the defined SMUX setting, the connection blades can be
inserted in connection bays 5 and 6 of fabric 3 or in connection bays 7
and 8 of fabric 4 in order to connect the second mezzanine card.
To define dedicated network connections for server blades with net-
works, you require LAN connection blades in IBP mode. The PY CB Eth
Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2, PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12, PY CB Eth
Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6, and PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 con-
nection blades support a "normal" Layer 2 switch mode and IBP mode.
If you only intend to work with virtual I/O parameters (Open Fabric mode
of the Virtual-IO Manager) and not with dedicated network connections,
you can also use the connection blades in switch mode or you can use
LAN connection blades that do not support IBP mode. This applies sep-
arately to the connection blades in each fabric. In other words, you can
operate connection blades in IBP mode in fabric 1 and connection blades
in switch mode in fabric 2.
l
You must install an 8 GB Brocade switch blade in fabric 2 and/or 3 in
order to support a Fibre Channel mezzanine card.
