Core I/O Card
Up to two core I/O cards can be plugged into the server. Two core I/O cards enable two I/O
partitions to exist in the server. The server can have up to two partitions. When a Server Expansion
Unit with two core I/O cards is attached to the server, two additional partitions can be configured.
A core I/O card can be replaced with standby power applied. The system power to the core I/O
is handled in the hardware the same way a hot-plug PCI/PCI-X card is handled. Standby power
to core I/O is handled by power manager devices to limit inrush current during insertion.
Core I/O Boot Paths
The servers internal I/O devices are located on the core I/O. The following table outlines the paths
assigned to the hard disk and removable media disk bays located on the front of the server chassis.
Core I/O card 0 refers to the core I/O located in the upper slot at the rear of the system. Core
I/O card 1 refers to the core I/O located in the lower slot at the rear of the system. Core I/O
cards 2 and 3 are located in the SEU (if available).
