associated with different interfaces on a given blade server as described in Table 22. Each blade server

has a “LAN on Motherboard” capability that is mapped to the IO modules located in the Fabric A IO

modules slots on the M1000e chassis and only supports 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet networking depending

on the blade server model. In addition, each blade server has two “mezzanine” sockets for adding

additional networking options such as 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet, Infiniband, or Fibre Channel cards. These

mezzanine cards are mapped to either the Fabric B or the Fabric C IO modules.

Figure 25 illustrates the layout of the three fabric IO modules located on the back of the M1000e

chassis.
