- I/O bays 3 and 4 must have the same type of I/O modules from
the same vendor.
- I/O bay 1 must be populated before you install an I/O module in
I/O bay 2.
- I/O bay 3 must be populated before installing an I/O module in
I/O bay 4.
* If the server modules are configured with daughter cards, the cards
must be identical and use the same fabric.
* The daughter cards installed in the server modules must match the
type (fabric) of the I/O modules in bays 3 and 4.
* I/O bays 1 and 2 can only be configured with Ethernet switches or
Ethernet pass-through modules.
