With PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades the QLogic Ethernet and 4 Gb FibreChannel
Expansion Card (CFFh) requires a MSIM-HT in a BladeCenter HT chassis.

1.7 Comparison between PS700, PS701, PS702, and 750 models
This section describes the difference between the POWER7 Blade servers and the entry
POWER7 Rack Server (Power 750). This helps to better position the POWER7 processor
Blade Servers.
The POWER7 Blade Server configuration offers three blade servers. The PS700 is 4-core,
the PS701 is 8-Core, and the PS702 is a 16-core Power7 based processor running at 3.0
GHz
The Power 750 offers a a 6-core or 8-core configuration. The 6-core Power7 processor runs
at 3.3 GHz and the 8-Core runs at 3.0 GHz, 3.3 GHz or 3.5 GHz systems.
The POWER7 processor has 4 MB L3 cache per core and 256 KB L2 cache per core.
Note: The MSIM-HT comes standard without any I/O modules installed. They need to be
ordered separately. In addition, the use of MSIM-HT modules requires that all four power
modules be installed in the BladeCenter HT chassis.
