Half-Height Blades

Standard LOM (Dual-Port) and Network Daughter Card (Quad-Port) Mapping

Each standard LOM has two port connections. For a half-height blade

in bay n:

• Integrated LOM, connection 1 connects to I/O module A1, port n.

Integrated LOM, connection 2 connects to I/O module A2, port n.

Half-height blades with Network Daughter Card (PowerEdge M710HD)

hosts two network controllers (LOM1 and LOM2), each with two port

connections. For a half-height blade in bay n:

• LOM1, connection 1 connects to I/O module A1, port n.

LOM1, connection 2 connects to I/O module A2, port n.

• LOM2, connection 1 connects to I/O module A1, port n+16.

LOM2, connection 2 connects to I/O module A2, port n+16.

NOTE:

If the I/O modules A1 and A2 are not quad-port capable, then the LOM2

ports (NIC3 and NIC4) gets disabled during system boot. For more information, see

connects to I/O module A1, port 5 and LOM1 connection 2 connects to I/O

module A2, port 5. LOM2 connection 1 connects to I/O module A1, port 21

and LOM2 connection 2 connects to I/O module A2, port 21.

Dual-Port Mezzanine Cards

For a half-height blade in bay n:

• The integrated NIC connects to I/O module A1, port n and I/O module

A2, port n.

• Mezzanine card B connects to I/O module B1, port n and I/O module B2,

port n.

• Mezzanine card C connects to I/O module C1, port n and I/O module C2,
