3 Configuring the I/O Modules Overview The M1000e enclosure supports three layers of I/O fabric. Each layer may contain Ethernet, Infiniband, and Fibre Channel modules. Additional fabrics may be supported in the future. You can install up to six hot-swappable I/O modules in the enclosure, including Fibre Channel switches, Fibre-Channel pass-throughs, Infiniband switches, Ethernet switches, and Ethernet passthrough modules. Figure 3-1 shows the numbering of the I/O bays and other back-panel features. Figure 3-1.
