Force 10 MXL question

Hey guys,

I have a quick question, but first let me give you my setup.

We are currently implementing a new m1000e chassis with 2 Force10MXL switches. Both of the switches are in the b fabrics. I have F10a(left B fabric) going to our N7k with port-channel 7, while F10b (right B fabric) going to our N7k with a port-channel of 8. There is no stacking between the two F10's, but are up and running active/active (with no live servers on them yet)

I am kind of confused because we have 4 servers in there (not live yet) and they are showing:

F10-A#show ip int brie

Interface                IP-Address      OK  Method Status                Protocol

TenGigabitEthernet 0/1   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/2   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/3   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/4   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

 

 

Sw2:
F10-B#show ip int brie

Interface                IP-Address      OK  Method Status                Protocol

TenGigabitEthernet 0/1   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/2   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/3   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

TenGigabitEthernet 0/4   unassigned      YES None   up                    up

My question is I know both switches see the ports. How does the server know which port to go out? Is this configured within the server, or in the F10? Do I have to stack the 2 F10's with a stacking cable?
