    Dell PowerEdge FX2s (back) with two PowerEdge FN410S IOMs installed Note: This guide applies to either the PowerEdge FX2 or FX2s chassis. The FX2 does not offer PCIe expansion slots. The FX2s includes eight PCIe expansion slots, as Figure 2 shows.

  • Page 7: Dell 10Gbe Pass-Through Module

    Dell 10GbE Pass-through Module The Dell 10GbE PTM provides one-to-one connectivity from blade server network adapter ports to ToR switch ports. It has eight internal ports and eight external SFP+ ports. The pass-through module does not do any switching. PowerEdge FN410S I/O Module The PowerEdge FN410S IOM is a Layer 2 and 3 switch with eight internal ports and four external SFP+ ports.
  • Page 8: Upgrade

    Dell EMC recommends a minimum of two uplinks from each FN410S for redundancy. If an uplink fails, traffic continues to flow on the remaining uplink(s) in the port channel without affecting connectivity of the server CNAs.
  • Page 9: Step-By-Step Example

    In this example, there are two FC630 servers in the chassis, and each FC630 server has a dual-port CNA. On each server, one CNA port is untagged in the default vlan and the other port is tagged in VLAN 6. A Dell Networking S4048-ON functions as the ToR switch.

    On FN410S-A1, UFD detects port channel 128 is up and brings up the internal, server-facing ports (FN410S-A1 ports te 0/1 and te 0/5 in Figure 9). This causes the corresponding server CNA ports to come up. PowerEdge FX2 - Upgrading from 10GbE Pass-through Modules to FN410S I/O Modules | version 1.0...
  • Page 13 Note: If you want to verify east-west traffic bypasses the ToR switch by shutting port channel 128, disable UFD on the FN410S first. Instructions for disabling and re-enabling UFD are in the appendix of Dell PowerEdge FN IOM Easy Deployment Guide.
