These modules are hot-swappable, and may be installed in Fabric B or Fabric C. Please note the following additional details: • The M8024 Ethernet switch module may also be installed in Fabric A, but will only operate at 1 Gb in this Fabric. • Due the dual-wide nature of the M3601Q QDR switch and physical constraints of the M1000e, this switch module when installed would span both fabric B and C of the I/O module bank. • For general information on installing I/O modules, see "I/O Modules" in your Hardware Owner's Manual. PowerConnect M8024 10 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two option bays that support the following modules: • A 10 Gb Ethernet module with four optical SFP+ connectors • A 10 Gb Ethernet module with three copper CX4 uplinks The modules can be used in any combination and are sold separately. You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods: • Connect an external management system to the switch using an optional USB type-A form factor serial cable, and configure the switch using a terminal application. • Use the iKVM CMC console ("17th blade") and the connect switch-n CMC CLI command. For more information, see the CMC user's guide. Once an IP address is assigned to the management VLAN or interface and the switch is connected to a management network, both Telnet and http are available through the network. Information Update 15
