I/O population and slot numbering

The following figures show the I/O module slot numbers.

The slot that is labeled N is the network daughter card, which contains ports ethMa, ethMb, ethMc, and ethMd.

The physical interface name format for the other I/O module slots is ethXy, where X is the slot number and y is an alphanumeric character. For example, eth5a.

The direction of the port numbering on an HBA depends on the slot location and the type of HBA. Check the labels on each HBA before connecting cables.

The management port ethMa is the first port set up by the Configuration Wizard. It is marked with a red rectangle in the figure below.

The following table describes the slot numbering, and the population which is based on the priority order.

NOTE:Installing HBAs requires opening the system and installing the HBA into the riser.

Slots 1, N, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are not installed on a riser.

I/O module servicing

All I/O modules are user serviceable and may be replaced when the system is powered off. On-line service of I/O modules is not supported. A module that is hot-inserted into the system will remain powered off and will not be powered on until the next reboot of the system. A module that is hot-removed causes an operating system to immediately reboot.
