To use SCSI hard disk drives with your blade server, install a SCSI storage expansion unit, such as Intel's SBSCSI SCSI storage expansion unit, on the blade server. You will then be able to install two 3.5-inch, hot-swap, SCSI, 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high hard disk drives in the expansion unit, for use by the blade server. The SCSI controller in the SCSI storage expansion unit supports RAID level...

...and their function.
The Ethernet controllers on your blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernetcompatible switch modules on the SBCE unit. Network signals to and from the blade server or any I/O expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface switch module through circuitry in the SBCE unit.
