Network connection 465C blade server

I am setting up a C3000 using 465C blads servers.  Vsphere 5.1 will run on it.   There will be 5 blades 2 2gb2 L3 interconnects.      I am looking at the  NC364m Quad Port Mess card,  but I recall being told that only 2 of the 4ports on this mess would function on the a half height blade.  

 

Can anyone confirm wether all 4 port will work on a half height blade. 

 

If he 4 ports on this mess card and the 2 integrated into blade server would leave me 6 uplinks to each of my 2 ethernet interconnects.  However, are some of the blade able to communicate via a connect accross the backplane that would not require and uplink.   HP docs state "This lets you connect optional storage or I/O devices to a server   blade through the midplane".    However, I am not clear if that path can be used for VMotion.  

 

 

Can anyone confirm if the path between the blades can be used for Vmotion - I understand it is disabled by default, but I trust it can easily be enabled
