12 Implementing Cisco InfiniBand on IBM BladeCenter

The I/O bays are connected to two separate and redundant midplanes and the blade servers

and expansion cards in the blades have ports that connect to both midplanes. The midplanes

that connect each of the bays are shown in Table 1-5.

Table 1-5 I/O module bays on each midplane

Be sure that all installed I/O modules are compatible with interface ports present in the

blades. For a list of supported combinations of standard I/O modules and I/O expansion cards

for BladeCenter H, refer to Table 1-6.
