IBM eServer BladeCenter Switch Module
This switch module is designed for the IBM eServer BladeCenter chassis and provides wired network connectivity for blade servers installed in that enclosure. It is intended for system integrators and data-centre operators who are building or expanding a BladeCenter infrastructure. The part number 90P0164 identifies the specific module for ordering and inventory purposes.
Replaces an absent or failed switch module
Adding this module restores network switching capacity when a bay is empty or an existing module has reached end of life. The upgrade is worthwhile when the chassis has an open switch bay and the workload demands additional fabric ports for the installed blades. It does not serve environments that require a different chassis form factor or switching architecture outside the BladeCenter platform.
