Product Description The I/O Aggregator is a zero-touch, layer 2 switch blade with two fixed 40GbE ports on the base module and support for two optional plug-in modules. The Aggregator operates in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e chassis, which can support up to 32 servers and - Dell PowerEdge XL 5133-4 | Dell PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator Getting Started Guide - Page 8
hardware configurations for the Aggregator. Internal Ports The Aggregator provides thirty-two 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet internal ports. The internal ports are connected to server in 4x10GbE mode with breakout cables and support up to eight 10GbE uplinks. You can also use the base-module ports as - Dell PowerEdge XL 5133-4 | Dell PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator Getting Started Guide - Page 9
