Figure 4-4 Qlogic Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel “combo card”CFFhTh
Together with an installed Qlogic Ethernet and 4Gb Fibre Channel combo card, it
is also possible to install the CIOv I/O expansion card. Using a BladeCenter H
with a JS23 combination gives, in addition to the two onboard network ports, six
more I/O ports. These six additional ports are four Fibre Channel ports and two
1Gb Ethernet ports. The JS43 doubles this port count to four integrated network
ports and twelve additional I/O ports or eight Fibre Channel ports and four
additional 1Gb Ethernet ports.
You must install the matching type of I/O module in the bays for the type of I/O
expansion card. Specifically, this means:
You must install a module that provides Ethernet connectivity in module Bay 1
and Bay 2 of a BladeCenter H or Bay 1of a BladeCenter S
1
.
You must install a module that supports the I/O connectivity of the installed
CIOv expansion cards in Bay 3 and Bay 4.
You must install a module or modules in a BladeCenter H Bays 7-10 or switch
module in Bay 2 of a BladeCenter S that support the CFFh expansion cards.
Note: When a CIOv card and a CFFh card are installed together, the CIOv
must be installed first.

Both integrated network ports of a blade connect to the module in Bay 1. A VLAN configuration is
required to separate the different networks and broadcast domains.
Note: When the Optical Pass-thru Module is used with a 4 Gbs Fibre Channel
host bus adapter, only a transfer rate of 2 Gbs can be used. Therefore, set the
Fibre Channel switch ports that connect to the OPM to 2 Gbs.
