Dell Modular Server Chassis Architecture

The four chassis I/O module bays are on the rear panel (see

Figure 2-1

). You can insert switch modules

into the chassis I/O module bays 1 and 2. Use bays 3 and 4 for switch modules only if a Gigabit Ethernet
daughter card is installed on the server modules.

Consider these prerequisites before installing your switch module:

Bay 1 and bay 2 are a pair. Bay 1 must be populated before bay 2. If bay 2 is used, the I/O module
in bay 2 must be the same type as the one in bay 1.

Bay 3 and bay 4 are a pair. Bay 3 must be populated before bay 4. If bay 4 is used, the I/O module
in bay 4 must be the same type as the one in bay 3.

For more information about the components of the information panel, see the Dell PowerEdge 1855
Systems User's Guide
and the Dell PowerEdge 1855 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
