Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure Owner's Manual

PDF

Fabrics B and C

Fabrics B and C refer to the PCIe connections between the server modules and the VRTX enclosure. These fabrics support PCIe mezzanine cards installed in the server modules. The enclosure has two PCIe switches (Fabric B and Fabric C switches) integrated on the system board to connect the server modules to the Shared PoweEdge RAID Controller (PERC) card slots and eight PCIe expansion card slots on the enclosure.
NOTE: To locate the Shared PERC card slots and the PCIe slots on the enclosure system board, see System Board Connectors.

The PCIe switch mapping to the PCIe card slots is dependent on the firmware and the software license installed on the system. For more information about mapping PCIe slots, see Mapping PCIe Expansion Slots.

NOTE: PCIe NICs systems management is not supported on Fabrics B and C.
