Emulex 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCente

The Emulex 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) requires that a supported I/O module is installed

in bay 3 and bay 4 of the chassis in which the cards and servers are installed.

Table 3 lists the supported I/O modules that can be used to connect to the expansion card. The 8 Gb

switch modules are recommended. The card also supports 4 Gb Fibre Channel switch modules and the 4

Gb Intelligent Pass-thru Module. However, the card must operate at the 4 Gbps rate. The card also

supports the Optical Pass Through Module but only at 2 Gbps (a limitation of the OPM).
