Quad port to IOM relationship

IO Adapters

All Dell blades feature embedded Ethernet Controllers with at least 2 discrete ports. These discrete ports are

directly mapped to IOM’s installed in Fabric “A”, banks one and two. IOM slots “A1” and “A2” can only accept

Ethernet IO Modules.

Optional IO adapters or “Mezzanine cards” can be installed in a server blade to enable fabric B and C. These

mezzanine cards can be dual port or Quadport. An Ethernet Mezzanine card installed in Fabric B slot in a blade will

enable a Matching Ethernet IO Module to be placed in IOM slots B1 and B2. The same population rule applies for

fabric “C”.
