Dell PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s Enclosure Owner's Manual

PDF

Supported I/O modules

The enclosure supports up to two switches or pass-through modules. The maximum width for an Ethernet pass-through module is eight lanes.

The following I/O modules are supported on the enclosure:

  • Dell PowerEdge FN 410S I/O Module
  • Dell PowerEdge FN 410T I/O Module
  • Dell PowerEdge FN2210S I/O Module
  • PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s 1 Gb x8 RJ45 pass-through module
  • PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s 10 Gb x8 SFP+ pass-through module
    • The 10 Gb pass-through module supports both 10 GbE SFP+ and 1 GbE SFP optical module. The 10 Gb pass-through module supports 1 Gb and 10 Gb connections.
    • Use SFP+ to configure 10 Gb pass-through module and SFP or 1 Gb TOR switch to configure 1 Gb pass-through module.
    • Using a dual-rate optical module for a 1 GbE connection on the 10 Gb pass-through module results in an invalid link.
    • Use a dual-rate SFP+ optical module to configure a 10 GbE connection.
    • To establish optical links between two 10 Gb pass-through modules, an external rack switch must be used as an intermediary. Direct optical connection (using SFP modules, SFP+ modules, and Directed Attach Copper cables) between two 10 Gb pass-through modules is not supported.
      NOTE: This restriction is not applicable for Direct Attach Copper connections or to the 1 Gb pass-through module.
NOTE: For more information on the I/O modules, see the I/O module documentation at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
