A compatible switch module must be installed in the corresponding I/O bays in the chassis, as indicated
in the following table. Installing four switches in all four switch bays of the chassis means that all ports of
the adapter are enabled, which improves performance and network availability.

The FC5024D is a four-port adapter where two ports are routed to each server. Port 1 of each server is
connected to the switch in bay 3 and Port 2 of each server is connected to the switch in bay 4. To take
advantage of all four ports, you must install a supported Fibre Channel switch in both switch bays.
The following figure shows how the FC5024D 4-port 16 Gb FC adapter and the Embedded 10Gb VFAs
are connected to the Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches installed in the chassis.
