Quadport Capable Hardware for the M1000e Modular Chassis
Introduction:
The Dell M1000e Modular chassis brings a rich assortment of IO capabilities into a relatively small space.
This document introduces QuadPort Mezzanine Cards and PowerConnect M6348 switch that further scales
Network density.
The M1000e Chassis, Blades and IO Modules
The M1000e chassis supports up to 16 Half Height server blades, 8 full height server blades or a logical mix of the two. It also supports up to 6 IO Modules. We will focus on the Intel Quadport Gigabit ET Mezzanine card, the
Broadcom NetExtreme II 5709 Quad Port Ethernet Mezzanine Card, and the Dell PowerConnect M6348 switch
IOM.
TechNote: “Quad port ” implies these components are fully compatible with other Quadport devices. Quadport capable devices are also compatible with “dual port” devices minus the availability of connectivity with the 2 nd pair of IO channels
IO Fabric Banks
Chassis IO is segregated into 3 discrete data paths by letter: A, B and C. These paths are described as “FABRICS” and support Ethernet, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand. These discrete fabric paths are split into 2 IO “Banks”, bank one and two. Each Blade IO adapter can have either 2 or 4 ports depending on capability. These ports are split out evenly to IOM banks one and two to allow for redundancy. When you deploy your Ethernet, iSCSI or FibreChannel networks, span their redundant links across banks one and two for maximum availability. We denote the discrete
IOM with the fabric Identifier and the Bank number.
Example: “A1” denotes Fabric “A” in bank “1”. “C2” Denotes Fabric “C” in Bank “2”. This translates into the following logical mapping in figure one and the physical layout in figure two.
Figure 1 shows a half height blade with dual port LOMS and Mezzanine Cards and dual capable IOM’s. Figure 2 shows the numbering of each IOM slot and IOM banks one and two and six Dell Gigabit Ethernet pass-through modules installed in all 6 IOM bays.

Half Height Blades
The M600, M605 and M610 are half height form factor server blades. They feature a Broadcom 57XX dual port embedded Ethernet LOM’s driving fabric “A” and two mezzanine card slots supporting fabrics “B” and “C”. Figure 4 depicts the layout of optional mezzanine cards.

Full Height Blades
M710, M805 and M905 are Full height blades. The number of potential IO ports was doubled along with the form factor. There are 2 dual port Broadcom 5709 Gigabit Ethernet Lan On Motherboard controllers (LOMS) and 4
Mezzanine card slots on each full height blade. There are 2 mezzanine cards supporting Fabric “B” and 2 supporting Fabric “C”. Figure 5 depicts the layout of optional mezzanine cards.

Dual port and Quadport IOM’s
The IO Modules are split into 2 types, Pass-through modules and Switches. We will focus on the PowerConnect
M6348 Ethernet switch IOM.
The M6348 is a 48 port switch with 32 internal ports meaning there are double the incoming or internal Ethernet ports compared to a dual port switch where standard dual port IOM’s have 16 internal ports. These 32 ports are mapped in a one to one ratio with the outgoing ports from a Quadport Mezzanine card. All switches have external outgoing or uplink ports. It is suggested that a quadport mezzanine will always be matched with a quad port switch like the M6348.
TechNote: Internal ports are the ports that face internally into the chassis and the external ports are the ports used to uplink to the core fabric

Quad port to IOM relationship
IO Adapters
All Dell blades feature embedded Ethernet Controllers with at least 2 discrete ports. These discrete ports are directly mapped to IOM’s installed in Fabric “A”, banks one and two. IOM slots “A1” and “A2” can only accept
Ethernet IO Modules.
Optional IO adapters or “Mezzanine cards” can be installed in a server blade to enable fabric B and C. These mezzanine cards can be dual port or Quadport. An Ethernet Mezzanine card installed in Fabric B slot in a blade will enable a Matching Ethernet IO Module to be placed in IOM slots B1 and B2. The same population rule applies for fabric “C”.
Page 8
Quadport Capable Hardware for the M1000e Modular Chassis
Technote: Some blades cannot support full IO capability in Fabric "C".
Refer to the IO limitation chart in this document for details
Mezzanine Card Enumeration
Mezzanine cards are identified and ordered by: MEZZn_FAB_x. Where n is 1 to the maximum number of mezz card slots in the blade, and X is the fabric position of the mezz card, either “B” or “C”. Figure 8 shows this numbering in a half height and full height blade

IO to IOM Port Ordering
MAC and WWN Order
For all IO adapters, port one maps to IOM bank one and port two maps to IOM bank two. Port one of the LOM or
Mezzanine adapters will always be the lowest Physical Identifier and will scale with the port count. The Physical
Identifier is either a MAC address for Ethernet or a WWN (World Wide Name) for FibreChannel. In the case of a
Quadport Mezzanine card the same is true with the addition of port 3 mapping to bank 1 and port 4 mapping to bank2. The FlexAddress MAC and WWN’s can retain this same ordering.
Figure 9 shows a Intel and a Broadcom Quadport mezzanine card and the relationship of the MAC addresses and the IOM banks.

Half Height Blade IO to IOM mapping
Mapping for quadport components in half height blades uses the following formulas:
(“N” being the slot the blade is installed into; 1-8. P = The internal Port Number)
“Mezz1-FAB_C”, port one and two: “P = N” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number)
“Mezz1-FAB_C”, port three and four: “P = N+16” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 16)
“Mezz2-Fab_B”, port one and two: “P = N” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number)
“Mezz2-Fab_B”, port three and four: “P = N+16” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 16
Example:
Half height blade installed in chassis slot one, a Quadport Mezzanine card in “Mezz2-Fab_B”
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 1 maps to IOM B1, port 1
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 2 maps to IOM B2, port 1
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 3 maps to IOM B1 port 17
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 4 maps to IOM B2 port 17
Figure 10 shows the physical mapping of the ports for a Half height blade installed in chassis slot 1 and a Quadport
Mezzanine card installed in Mezz2-Fab_B. The ports illustrated on the IOM are incoming ports, not external uplink ports.

Full Height Blade IO to IOM mapping
Mapping for quadport capable components in full height blades uses the following formulas:
(“N” being the slot the blade is installed into; 1-8. P = The internal Port Number)
“Mezz1-FAB_C”, port one and two: “P = N” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number)
“Mezz1-FAB_C”, port three and four: “P = N+16” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 16)
“Mezz2-Fab_B”, port one and two: “P = N” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number)
“Mezz2-Fab_B”, port three and four: “P = N+16” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 16)
“Mezz3-FAB_C”, port one and two: “P + 8” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number + 8)
“Mezz3-FAB_C”, port three and four: “P = N+24” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 24)
“Mezz4-Fab_B”, port one and two: “P + 8” (Internal Port number = Blade Slot number + 8)
“Mezz4-Fab_B”, port three and four: “P = N+24” (Internal port number = Blade slot number + 24)
Example:
Full height blade installed in chassis slot 1, 2 Quadport capable Mezzanine cards in “Mezz2-Fab_B” and
“Mezz4-Fab_B”.
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 1 Maps to IOM B1, port 1
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 2 Maps to IOM B2, port 1
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 3 Maps to IOM B1 port 17
• “Mezz2-Fab_B” port 4 Maps to IOM B2 port 17
• “Mezz4-Fab_B” port 1 Maps to IOM B1, port 9
• “Mezz4-Fab_B” port 2 Maps to IOM B2, port 9
• “Mezz4-Fab_B” port 3 Maps to IOM B1 port 25
• “Mezz4-Fab_B” port 4 Maps to IOM B2 port 25
