34 IBM BladeCenter PS703 and PS704 Technical Overview and Introduction1.7.7 Multi-switch Interconnect Module for BladeCenter HTThe Multi-switch Interconnect Module for BladeCenter HT (MSIM-HT) is a switch modulecontainer that fits in the high-speed switch bays (bays 7 and 8 or bays 9 and 10) of theBladeCenter HT chassis. Up to two MSIMs can be installed in the BladeCenter HT. TheMSIM-HT accepts two supported standard switch modules as shown in Figure 1-13.The MSIM-HT has a reduced number of supported standard I/O modules compared to theMSIM.I/O module to MSIM-HT compatibility matrixes can be viewed at the following web pages: ServerProven:http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/eserver.html BladeCenter Interoperability Guidehttp://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-5073016With PS703 and PS704 blades the QLogic Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card(CFFh) requires an MSIM-HT in a BladeCenter HT chassis.Figure 1-13 Multi-switch Interconnect Module for BladeCenter HTTable 1-16 shows MSIM-HT ordering information.Table 1-16 MSIM-HT ordering information1.8 Building to orderYou can perform a build to order configuration using the IBM Configurator for e-business(e-config). The configurator allows you to select a pre-configured Express model or to build aNote: The MSIM-HT comes standard without any I/O modules installed. They must beordered separately. In addition, the use of MSIM-HT modules requires that all four powermodules be installed in the BladeCenter HT chassis.Description Part number Featurecodeaa.
