Scalable Fabric I/O Module Placement
While there are other supported topologies this topology provides complete redundancy. See the Dell EMC
PowerEdge MX SmartFabric Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide for more information about supported
topologies.
6.3.1 Logical Reconfiguration
With the expansion of the MCM group and the physical reconfiguration of the FSEs and their corresponding
FEMs, the OME-M Network Manager detects the changes to the fabric topology. The fabric is evaluated, and
the fabric topology will be updated. Port mappings of NICs in the compute sleds to ports of either the FSEs or
the FEMs are updated. Previously deployed templates are used to update the configuration of any server
facing ports that may have moved during the reconfiguration.
Figure 8 shows the resulting topology from this reconfiguration as understood by the OME-M Network
Manager.

Note: the diagram shows that the FSEs now exist in different chassis. The FEMs are not displayed because
they are just the mechanical implementation of the ports that exist on the FSEs. No action is needed to
reconfigure the uplinks or the VLANs assigned to those uplinks.
