Configuring the I/O Modules
Overview
The M1000e enclosure supports three layers of I/O fabric. Each layer may
contain Ethernet, Infiniband, and Fibre Channel modules. Additional fabrics
may be supported in the future. You can install up to six hot-swappable I/O
modules in the enclosure, including Fibre Channel switches, Fibre-Channel
pass-throughs, Infiniband switches, Ethernet switches, and Ethernet pass-
through modules. Figure 3-1 shows the numbering of the I/O bays and other
back-panel features.
