Hello, I was trying to find something and found these slide pieces. Please check them,

refer link is https://slideplayer.com/slide/5703980/

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your information.

I have 2 m1000e

The first one is work perfectly, I install M6348 switch into Fabric A1 slot.
All 16 ports online without any issue.

slot 1-8 has M610, slot 9-16 has M620

But for second system, slot 1-8 has M630
M6348 installed on Fabric A1 slot, not all ports were online.
When I move M6348 into Fabric B1, all ports are online.

M630 installed with
A: Intel(R) 10GbE 2P X710-k bNDC
C: BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810S-k Mezz

Why not the same with the first system? so strange.

I

thanks, that's really odd. Could the FW versions be different, please check control management FW in here https://dell.to/3VpUEhj

May be not a firmware issue

System1:  firmware version 6.10 work fine

System2: firmware version 6.21 has this issue

But I will try to downgrade version first.

I just rollback to 6.10, but it didn't help

My system M100e
A1: M6348
C1: M6348

slot1-8: M630 with same config
A: Intel(R) 10GbE 2P X710-k bNDC
B: Nothing
C: BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810S-k Mezz

Result:
A1: Only slot 1,4,5,8,11-14 can be online
C1: All 16 slots can be online
------------------------------
I also have another system without problem
M100e
A1: M6348
B1: M6348
slot1-8: M610
A: Embedded LOM  (1Gbps)
slot9-16:M620
A: BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810s bNDC

Result: any slot can be online without any issue

M6348 is a 1 Gig switch and looks like you have a 10Gig Mezz cards. Can you share below details

• Mezz card installed on first chassis where all ports are coming up properly
• Mezz card in Fabric A and C on second chassis is same across all blades?
• What Mezz card installed on Fab B on second chassis where all ports are coming up properly

Can you swap the M630 from a working slot to non working slot and see whether it is working. This way we can check whether it is an issue with the slot or with the server

Can you swap one of the M630 SLED instead of switch and try.

Yes, sure, I already try it. these results are

From
A1: M3648 (1) => some online
C1: M3648 (2) => all online

To
A1: M3648 (2) => some online
C1: M3648 (1) => all online

Also
A1: Pass-Through module => all online
B1: Any module => all online
A2: M3648 => some online

When we install any switch or server to non working slot the failure continues and the same switch is working on other slots. As the issue seen with specific switch Slots and with specific server slots, I believe this could be a hardware issues on M1000e chassis midplane. 

Yes sure, I had moved M630 into all slots, one-by-one
only slot 1, 4,5, 8, 11-14 work when M3648 in A1

Any M630 that put in slot 1, 4,5, 8, 11-14 will work.
