Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 Getting Started Guide Dell Modular Server Chassis Architecture Dell Modular Server Chassis Architecture The four chassis I/O module bays are on the rear panel (see Figure 2). 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.
Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 Getting Started Guide Installing the Switch Module in the Server Chassis 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.
