Fabric Extender and Blade server connectivity(Cabling)

[Sushant Jain]

Hi,

There is lot of information available about how a Fabric extender connects to the Fabric interconnect. e.g. SFP+ ports, cabling etc.

I am bit a confused, how does connectivity happen between the blade server and fabric extender inside the chassis.

The information available only gives us idea about the possible network cards in the blade servers.

I want to understand, how actual connectivity is done between the blade servers and fabric extenders.

Is it through some cables or anything else? Please help.

Thanks,

Sushant
