IBM BladeCenter HS22 12I/O expansion optionsThe HS22 server offers the following PCI Express 2.0 slots, neither of which is hot-swap.CIOv expansion slotCFFh expansion slotThe CIOv I/O expansion connector provides I/O connections through the midplane of the chassis tomodules located in bays 3 and 4 of a supported BladeCenter chassis. It is a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot.The CFFh I/O expansion connector provides I/O connections to high-speed switch modules that arelocated in bays 7, 8, 9, and 10 of a BladeCenter H or BladeCenter HT chassis, or to switch bay 2 in aBladeCenter S chassis. The CFFh slot is a PCIe x16 slot.The HS22 optionally supports the IBM BladeCenter PCIe Gen 2 Expansion Blade. The expansion bladeprovides the capability to attach selected PCI Express cards to the HS22. This capability is ideal for manyapplications that require special telecommunications network interfaces or hardware acceleration using aPCI Express card.The expansion blade provides one full height and full length PCI Express slot and one full height and halflength PCI Express slot with a maximum power usage of 75 watts for each slot. It integrates PCI Expresscard support capability into the BladeCenter architecture. Up to four expansion blades can be attached toan HS22. Each expansion blade occupies a bay in the BladeCenter chassis.The server also supports IBM BladeCenter PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit (PCI Express Gen 1). Amaximum of one unit can be attached to a single blade.Table 10.
