Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 2.0 for PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s User's Guide

PDF

Managing Fabrics

The chassis supports two fabric types: Fabric A1 and Fabric A2, which are used by the two I/O Modules, and are always connected to the on-board Ethernet adapters of the servers.

NOTE In the PowerEdge FX2s chassis, fabrics B and C are the PCIe connection to the PCIe Extension cards.
Following IO Modules are supported:
  • 1GbE pass-through
  • 10GbE pass-through
  • I/O Aggregator

Both the Fabrics support only Ethernet. Each server IO adapter ( LOM) can have either two or four ports depending on the capability. The mezzanine card slots are occupied by PCIe extension cards that are connected to PCIe cards (and not to IO modules).

NOTE In the CMC CLI, the IOM is referred to by the convention, switch.
