These modules are hot-swappable, and may be installed in Fabric B
or Fabric C. Please note the following additional details:
• The M8024 Ethernet switch module may also be installed in Fabric A,
but will only operate at 1 Gb in this Fabric.
• Due the dual-wide nature of the M3601Q QDR switch and physical
constraints of the M1000e, this switch module when installed would span
both fabric B and C of the I/O module bank.
• For general information on installing I/O modules, see "I/O Modules"
in your Hardware Owner’s Manual.
PowerConnect M8024 10 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module
The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two option bays
that support the following modules:
• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with four optical SFP+ connectors
• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with three copper CX4 uplinks
The modules can be used in any combination and are sold separately.
You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods:
• Connect an external management system to the switch using an optional
USB type-A form factor serial cable, and configure the switch using a
terminal application.
• Use the iKVM CMC console (“17th blade”) and the connect switch-n
CMC CLI command. For more information, see the CMC user’s guide.
Once an IP address is assigned to the management VLAN or interface and
the switch is connected to a management network, both Telnet and http are
available through the network.
