IOAM Enclosure ServerNet Pathways
ServerNet X fabric and the other the ServerNet Y fabric. In this drawing, the
nomenclature PIC n means the PIC in slot n. For example, PIC 4 is the PIC in slot 4.
IOAM Enclosure ServerNet Pathways
This drawing shows the ServerNet communication pathways through the routers in
each ServerNet switch board to the ServerNet I/O adapters in each IOAM module.
