Hi,
The Poweredge 1955 is a blade, so the network connections are attached to the blade chassis and not the blade itself. It connects to an 1855 chassis and on the back of that there are two slots for passthrough modules or switches. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-1855_User%27s%20Guide2_en-us.pdf
