Configuring the I/O Modules

Overview

The M1000e enclosure supports three redundant I/O fabrics, selectable
between combinations of Ethernet and Fibre Channel modules. (Additional
fabrics including Infiniband will be supported in the future.) You can install up
to six hot-swappable I/O modules in the enclosure, including Fibre Channel
switches, Fibre Channel pass-throughs, Ethernet switches, and Ethernet pass-
through modules. Figure 3-1 shows the numbering of the I/O bays.
