1.6.7 Multi-switch Interconnect Module for BladeCenter HT
The Multi-switch Interconnect Module for BladeCenter HT (MSIM-HT) is a switch module
container that fits in the high-speed switch bays (bays 7 and 8 or bays 9 and 10) of the
BladeCenter HT chassis. Up to two MSIM s can be installed in the BladeCenter HT. The
MSIM-HT accepts two supported standard switch modules as shown in Figure 1-14 on
page 35.
The MSIM-HT has a reduced number of supported standard I/O modules compared to the
MSIM. I/O module to MSIM-HT compatibility matrixes can be viewed at the following Web
pages.
Note: The MSIM comes standard without any I/O modules installed. They need to be
ordered separately. In addition, the use of MSIM modules requires that all four power
modules be installed in the BladeCenter H chassis.
