BladeCenter T (8720)


Attention
Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

Note: Form Factor abbreviations are as follows: SFF = Small Form Factor, StFF = Standard Form Factor, HSFF = High Speed Form Factor

The Standard Form Factor (StFF) card is the original form factor for expansion cards in blade servers. An StFF expansion card uses the PCI-X connector on the blade server and expansion units. When an StFF expansion card is installed using the PCI-X connector it is not possible to install a CFFh nor HSFF expansion card on the adjacent PCI-E connector (if one exists in the server) In addition, when an StFF expansion card is installed, the second hard disk drive on some blade servers cannot be installed.
Notes:
  1. Mixing Ethernet (including Copper Pass-thru Module (CPM)) and
    Fibre/SAN switches in I/O module bays 3 and 4 is not supported.
    However, mixing Optical Pass-thru modules (OPM) and Ethernet
    or Fibre/SAN switches in bays 3 and 4 is supported.
  2. Up to three (3) 10GbE 850 nm Fiber SFP+ Transceivers are
    supported for each installed Nortel 1/10Gb Uplink Ethernet Switch
    Module (SBB 44W4405, Option 44W4404), allowing a maximum
    of twelve (12).
