Manual

Setup 18
Each pair of RJ-45 patch panels provides up to four network connections per server blade bay. A server
blade installed in bay 1 (from the front view) maps to four of the bottom row Ethernet connectors. Each
consecutive server blade maps to four Ethernet connectors in the next row of connectors in a similar
manner.
For RJ-45 patch panel installation and specifications, see the documentation that ships with the
interconnect option.
IMPORTANT: NIC numbering is for mapping purposes only. Actual NIC numbering can vary with server
blade operating systems.
